Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play a major role in the mechanobiological response of the aortic wall. Certain influencing factors, such as pathological conditions, lead to deregulation of the mechanosensitivity and mechanotransduction processes of the SMC. These changes are reflected in particular by a phenotypic change of the SMC, from contractile to synthetic, in order to repair the tissue which is perceived as deficient. Remodeling induces stiffening and weakening of the wall. Given the lack of quantitative data about the mechanical properties of human aortic SMCs, we undertook their characterization in normal and pathological conditions, in order to better anticipate alterations leading to injury. Accordingly, this thesis presents a set exp...
