The Sixteenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-16) was held September 22-25, 2019, in Kobe Port Oasis, Kobe, Japan, and co-chaired by Noriaki Emoto, MD, PhD, from Kobe Pharmaceutical University and Bambang Widyantoro, MD, PhD, from the University of Indonesia. As the sixteenth iteration of this biannual conference that has been held since 1988, ET-16 provided a platform for researchers of all generations from all parts of the world to present novel discoveries in the field of endothelin. ET-16 returned to Asia and to Kobe, Japan, after 6 years of alternating venues with North America and Europe, with over 100 participants attending, sharing, and discussing the newest findings on endothelin and endothelin receptor antagonists in science and medicine.
