ACE2 ACTIVATION PROMOTES ANTITHROMBOTIC ACTIVITY

The FASEB Journal, 2009
Hyperactivity of the axis ACE/AngII/AT1R of the renin‐angiotensin system is associated with occurrence of acute thrombotic event. Recently a novel concept of a counterrugulatory axis, ACE2/Ang‐(1‐7)/Mas, has emerged. We hypothesized that ACE2 would be protective against thrombosis.

Identifying Activity

SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2011
Identification of active constraints in constrained optimization is of interest from both practical and theoretical viewpoints, as it holds the promise of reducing an inequality-constrained problem to an equality-constrained problem, in a neighborhood of a solution. We study this issue in the more general setting of composite nonsmooth minimization, in
