Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
‘C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is highly concentrated in endothelial cells but its physiological role(s) in the cardiovascular system are poorly defined. Prof. Hobbs’ lab has a long-standing interest in the physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology of this peptide, and developed novel pharmacological and genetic tools to dissect the key processes CNP regulates in both the vasculature and the heart.’ His work has identified a fundamental vasoprotective role of endothelium-derived CNP in modulating vascular tone, blood vessel morphology, the reactivity of leukocytes and platelets, and the development of atheroma and aneurism. More recently, these approaches have revealed critical physiological and pathological roles of CNP in the myocardium.’
