Americans die of heart or cardiovascular disease at an alarming rate. In fact, heart attacks, strokes and related diseases will kill an estimated 610,000 Americans this year alone. Some medications help, but to better tackle this problem, researchers need to know exactly how the heart and blood vessels stay healthy in the first place.
Now, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have identified a protein, called GPR68, that senses blood flow and tells small blood vessels called arterioles when to dilate. The researchers believe medications that activate GPR68 could one day be useful to treat medical conditions, including ischemic stroke.
"It has been known for decades that blood vessels sense changes in blood flow rate, and this information is crucial in regulating blood vessel dilation and controlling vascular tone," says Ardem Patapoutian, PhD, Scripps Research professor, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and senior author of the study published today in the journal Cell.

Oh, ye small minded person. You SAY that "H. sapiens is H. sapiens." But, you don't UNDERSTAND that "H. sapiens is H. sapiens." You CALL me a "racist", but have problems trying to figure out how "african american" or "white" is a race.
And, no, Muslim is not a race. Nor is it a religion. We've discussed this many times. It is a complete military/social/religious/justice movement. It is more complete than communism, but it is a movement much like communism. Islam succeeds where communism fails, because Islam addresses man's spiritual side. Unlike communism, Islam has less concern for economics - although it does address economics.
Go back and read what I wrote. Americans are being displaced. We are unwanted, and more malleable people are being brought in to replace us.
H. sapiens. That's one scary motherfucker, and you don't even know enough to be afraid of him.
