Figure 1
This figure summarizes the findings by Wang et al. Displayed is the aorta, with a disturbed flow in the inner curvature of the aortic arch and a laminar shear stress in the descending aorta. In the left panel Athero stands for the location of atherosclerosis in the disturbed shear stress region. In the right panel the concomitant molecular changes in YAP/TAZ are indicated.
