This course will cover basic vascular function from a broad physiological perspective through to highlighting the importance of multiple cell types found in the vascular wall. The programme will take the student from an overview of the whole vascular network, showing how it meets the demands of the body, through to focused lectures on ion channels and the spatial and temporal control of calcium in regulating vascular tone. The importance of endothelial cells and perivascular adipose tissue will be emphasised, as well as the role of capillaries. Finally, the course will introduce arterial remodelling, how it occurs and the impact of remodelling on vascular function and health.

Course location:
Panum Institute, Blegdamsvej 3B, Copenhagen 2200
