Abstract
Small arteries and their component cellular and non-cellular elements are continually subjected to, and interact with, mechanical forces. Such interactions are key in both short- and long-term adaptation of the structure and function of the microcirculation to its local environment and metabolic requirements. Following this brief introduction is a series of papers presented as a symposium (Small Artery Mechanobiology: Roles of Cellular and Non-Cellular Elements) at the World Congress for Microcirculation, Kyoto 2015.Keywords: artery; endothelium; extracellular matrix; mechanobiology; smooth muscle
