Abstract 16519: Endothelium-Derived C-Type Natriuretic Peptide is a Critical Regulator of Angiogenesis and Vascular Remodelling

Introduction: null Angiogenesis and vascular remodelling are complementary, innate responses to ischaemic cardiovascular events that restore tissue blood supply and oxygenation; the endothelium plays a critical function in these intrinsic protective processes. We have recently established C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) as a fundamental endothelial signalling species that coordinates vascular homeostasis. Herein, we define a central...
