Aberrant PGC-1α signaling in a lamb model of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn

Emily A. Mooers, Hollis M. Johnson, Teresa Michalkiewicz, Ujala Rana, Chintamani Joshi, Adeleye J. Afolayan, Ru-Jeng Teng, Girija G. KonduriMedical College of Wisconsin.United States Pediatric ResearchPediatr Res 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03223-2 AbstractBackground: Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) is characterized by elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), resulting in hypoxemia. Impaired angiogenesis contributes to high PVR. Pulmonary artery […]
