The Roles of Primary Cilia in Cardiovascular System
Abstract
Hypertension and aneurysm are a prevalent problem in our society. Because the risk of these vascular diseases is too important to ignore, our studies are designed to provide exciting and original concepts to examine the etiologies of hypertension and aneurysm with regard to mechanosensory organelles (primary cilia). Especially within polycystic kidney disease, untreated hypertension can worsen kidney function. Aneurysm rupture in PKD patients also remains a devastating complication that often could result in stroke and death. Our studies therefore aim at investigating new ideas in understanding hypertension and aneurysm formation in PKD.
