Decoding the messages sent between cells in our circulationImperial College London | Professor Justin C Mason
To maintain a healthy circulation the cells lining our arteries and veins send and receive chemical messages to and from other cells. This cell-cell communication occurs in several different ways. One way is via microscopic particles releas...

Revealing the role of angiotensin II in pulmonary arterial hypertensionUniversity of Edinburgh | Professor A Mark Evans
In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), higher levels of a hormone called angiotensin II promote PAH because they cause the smooth muscle cells that line the wall of the lung arteries to contract, raising the pressure in these vessels. Hi...
