Laminar Flow Attenuates Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Expression in Endothelial Cells

Abstract Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a non-canonical cytokine that is involved in multiple inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis. High MIF expression found in leukocytes which facilitates the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. However, little is known about...
