Renin Cell Baroreceptor, a Nuclear Mechanotransducer Central for Homeostasis

Abstract excerpt

Rationale: Renin-expressing cells are myoendocrine cells crucial for survival. They have been postulated to possess a pressure-sensing mechanism, a baroreceptor, which can detect slight changes in blood pressure and respond with precise and synchronized amounts of renin synthesized and released to the circulation to maintain blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte balance. The location and nature of this puzzling...
