Modulation of signaling in vascular cells by reactive oxygen species (ROS) affects many
aspects of cellular function, including growth, migration, and contraction. NADPH oxidases,
important sources of ROS, regulate many growth-specific and migration-related signaling
pathways. Identifying the precise intracellular targets of ROS enhances understanding of
their role in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology.
