'We demonstrated previously that laminar shear stress (LSS) enhances human coronary artery endothelial cell (HCAEC) wound closure via a vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin)-dependent mechanism. VE-cadherin can interact with p120 catenin (p120(ctn)) to mediate cell locomotion and proliferation. In this study, we hypothesized that p120(ctn) and an interacting protein, Kaiso, a ... More
