Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors in Hypertension by Ali H. Eid (5461829)

“…Evidence supports a role for vascular aging in the development of hypertension involving an impairment in endothelial function together with an alteration in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) calcium homeostasis leading to increased myogenic tone. Changes in free intracellular calcium levels ([Ca²⁺]_<em>i</em>) are mediated either by the influx of Ca²⁺ from the extracellular space or release of Ca²⁺ from intracellular stores, mainly the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). …”

Which factor explains the life‐history of <i>Xanthium strumarium</i> L., an aggressive alien invasive plant species, along its altitudinal gradient? by Rafi Ullah (8146836)

“…The X. strumarium exhibits late vegetative and reproductive phenology at higher altitudes, enabling them to occupy an empty niche and benefit from decreased competition for resource acquisition. The lower altitude plants show a higher growth rate (stem size increase, number of leaves, and leaf area) due to the higher nutrient availability. …”
