Abstract
The renin–angiotensin system plays a key role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid homeostasis. Owing to its critical contribution to blood pressure control, abnormalities of any component in this system can lead to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. In this review, we will highlight studies using this approach to uncover new perspectives on the physiology of the renin–angiotensin system.
