Mechanotransduction in Cardiovascular Function
Featured Topic — Wednesday, April 25, 2024 — 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM — Convention Center, Room 26
Cardiovascular Section — Chair: Charles Thodeti — Co-Chair: Sarah Lindsey
This featured topic will cover mechanical signaling in cardiovascular cell function. Topics include endothelial, smooth muscle, cardiac fibroblast and cardiomyocyte mechanisms in both health and disease. The cardiovascular system is highly mechanically active, and the majority of cells in the cardiovascular system are exposed to mechanical forces which regulate various cardiovascular functions such as vascular growth, arterial stiffness and cardiac remodeling. However, the mechanical signaling mechanisms in cardiovascular function is not well known as most of the studies are focused on the role of soluble growth factors. Therefore, we propose to have a featured topic on this important but ignored area of research. We will select speakers from the abstracts submitted and believe this featured topic will serve as platform for disseminating latest results from mechanical signaling in cardiovascular function and ignite new interests in scientists across CV section.
