Key protein behind pulmonary arterial hypertension identified.
n a groundbreaking discovery, researchers at the Unversity of California, San Diego, have identified a key protein that promotes the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in humans and mice.
The finding has implications for future drug therapies that may extend the life of patients withpulmonary arterial hypertension and prevent the need for lung transplantation, currently the only cure for this debilitating disease.
