Scientific Core:
The lecture demonstrated that RAS has evolved beyond its classical systemic view into a localized tissue hormonal system. It highlighted the prominence of the (ACE-2 / Ang 1-7 / MASR) axis in physiological states, contrasting with the (ACE / Ang II / AT1R) axis in malignancies. This duality offers potential for using ACE inhibitors and ARBs as anti-cancer agents and cardioprotective factors during chemotherapy.
