Popis: | Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a multifaceted condition characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, which can result in right ventricular dysfunction and failure. Disorders of lung development can present with secondary PH, which is a leading cause of mortality in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). DDR1 (discoidin domain receptor 1) is a collagen-binding receptor that regulates tissue fibrosis and inflammation and controls cellular growth and migration. However, the roles of DDR1 in lung development or the pathogenesis of PH are unknown. Studying mice with a DDR1 deletion ( |
