Title:	Mineralocorticoid-receptor signalling in vascular smooth muscle
Creators Name:	Wu, J. and Luft, F.C.
Abstract:	Human data suggest that eplerenone and spironolactone lowers blood pressure by mechanisms independent of the distal tubule. Now, a novel inducible conditional knockout model of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) brings out understanding further.
