Funded Activity Summary

Do depolarizing currents in the endothelium evoke contraction of vascular smooth muscle? Establishment of our concept involving a novel constricting influence in blood vessels will have two major benefits. First, it will keep Australian research at the leading edge in blood vessel research and thus maintain a very high international profile for Australian science. Second, our concept represents a whole new field of therapeutic potential for treating a range of vascular diseases involving excessive constriction of blood vessels. The development and manufacture of drugs in Australia would contribute to the national economy, and their consumption could improve the quality of life for those suffering from vascular diseases amenable to treatment by such drugs, likely to include pre-eclampsia, diabetes, hypertension.
