Renin-Angiotensin System Studies

Renin-Angiotensin System Studies is a research topic within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Science Explorer counts 24k research works in it since 1950. 23.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the role of the Renin-Angiotensin System in cardiovascular physiology and pathology, focusing on the mechanisms of action, physiological effects, and pathological implications of components such as Angiotensin, Renin, ACE2, and Angiotensin II Receptors. It covers topics including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, fibrosis, and the potential therapeutic interventions such as Aliskiren in conditions like diabetes.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
