In this note we describe some recent advances in the area of maximal function inequalities. We also study the behaviour of the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain families of doubling, radial decreasing measures, and acting on radial functions. In fact, we precisely determine when the weak type $(1,1)$ bounds are uniform in the dimension.
