Effect of cerium substitution on structural, optical, electrical transport and magnetic properties of spinel cobaltite synthesized through citrate-nitrate method
The copper cobaltite samples of Cu1 − xCexCo2O4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1) were synthesized by the simple citrate-nitrate method. The cubic spinel structure of all the synthesized samples was confirmed using X-ray diffra...

Open AccessThe matrix proteins aggrecan and fibulin-1 play a key role in determining aortic stiffness
Stiffening of the aorta is an important independent risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke. Yet its genetics is complex and little is known about its molecular drivers. We have identified for the fir...

Influence of the central-to-peripheral arterial stiffness gradient on the timing and amplitude of wave reflections
In individuals with compliant aortas, peripheral muscular artery stiffness exceeds central elastic artery stiffness. With aging, central stiffness increases with little change in peripheral stiffness, resultin...

Open Access4.2 Genetic Variations on Chromosome 14 Influence BCL11B Gene Expression Levels and Aortic Stiffness
Genetic variants in the 3’-BCL11B gene desert on 14q32.3 were recently shown to associate with aortic pulse wave velocity in the AortaGen Consortium GWAS meta-analysis. This region is believed to harbour a gene e...

Genetic variation at the growth hormone (GH1) and growth hormone receptor (GHR) loci as a risk factor for hypertension and stroke
An increased prevalence of both hypertension and cerebrovascular stroke is apparent in growth hormone (GH) deficiency whilst hypertension is a frequent complication in acromegaly. This has suggested a possible...
