Mechanisms of kidney injury in hypertension are incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the role of C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) in kidney microvascular function and hypertension-associated kidney injury using male Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats and SS rats lacking Ccl2 (SSCcl2-/-).
Kidney International published a clinical update in Research Highlights on 13 Mar 2026.
The item focuses on The role of C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 in the preservation of myogenic tone in the kidney microvasculature of Dahl Salt-Sensitive rats.
