Sugar rush: How diabetes leads to vascular disease

The key learning objectives:

• Understand what is arterial (myogenic) tone and the role of different ion channels involved.
• Appreciate effects of hyperglycemia on CaV1.2 channel activity and vascular reactivity.
• Describe mechanisms by which hyperglycemia modulates CaV1.2 channel activity and vascular reactivity from single-molecule events to whole-body physiology.
• Implement a multiscale approach for any given research program.
