Abstract:
The Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-17) was held during 4-7 October 2021 and because of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic it was held virtually. Sponsored by the American Physiological Society, ET-17 was held over 4 half-days, with exciting studies related to all organ systems presented. Since the Lancet article reporting the successful SONAR clinical trial with endothelin receptor A blockade in diabetic nephropathy, there has been renewed interest in the use of endothelin receptor antagonists in the treatment of a variety of diseases. From the rigorous preclinical studies to the latest clinical trials, ET-17 was full of exciting science, some of which is reported in this special issue. We welcomed new labs to the meeting and everyone left with the impression that ET-related research is a vibrant field with very significant discoveries being made.
