Vascular Biology's profile in Lund University Research portal

Description

Cardiovascular disease such as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, is the number-one health problem in the world. Despite remarkable progress in diagnosis and prevention, cardiovascular diseases cause disability and death at an astounding rate. The best opportunity to develop and implement new strategies for preventing and treating cardiovascular disease lies in the understanding of its underlying mechanisms. Our research therefore aims to isolate novel therapeutic targets that effectively prevent and most importantly, also reverse complications mediated by cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension. Specifically, we are interested in understanding of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling and its role in the regulation of the vascular and the immune system during hypertension, heart failure, stroke and cerebral small vessel disease.
