This study shows that deleting megalin in renal proximal tubule cells does not reduce atherosclerosis but causes tubulointerstitial nephritis in male mice fed a Western diet.

This study shows that BAPN induces distinct aortic pathologies in the ascending and descending thoracic aortas of young mice, with different structural and cellular changes in each region.

This study investigates the functional role of conserved sequences in the loop and β-sheet regions of angiotensinogen, showing that mutations in either region individually have no effect, but combined mutations impair AGT secretion.
