Autophagy contributes to angiotensin II induced dysfunction of HUVECs
Background: Signal transduction of Angiotensin II (Ang II) induced autophagy and its role in Ang II–induced dysfunction of HUVECs are still unclear. Methods: HUVECs are stimulated with different doses of Ang II (10-9-10-5 mol/L) for different time (6–48 ...

The SWELL1-LRRC8 complex regulates endothelial AKT-eNOS signaling and vascular function
The endothelium responds to numerous chemical and mechanical factors in regulating vascular tone, blood pressure, and blood flow. The endothelial volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC) has been proposed to be mechanosensitive and thereby sense fluid flow ...
