We tried to broaden our knowledge of the possible role of wall shear stress (WSS) in the occurrence of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). ⋯ The current study provided evidence that WSS reduction could activate Ang II, reduce miR-29 expression, and activate the TGFBR2/Smad3 axis, thus promoting EndMT and accelerating the progression of IAs.
