Location-dependent proteomics of the aorta reveal an atherosclerotic disease gradient shaped by hemodynamics

Background and aims: Atherosclerotic plaques form preferentially at vascular sites exposed to disturbed blood flow, yet the protein changes underlying this site-specific plaque development remain unclear.
