Through mechanobiological control of the extracellular matrix, and hence local stiffness, smooth muscle cells of the media and fibroblasts of the adventitia play important roles in arterial homeostasis, including adaptations to altered hemodynamics, injury, and disease. We present a new approach to model arterial wall mechanics that seeks to define...
