NelinNationwide Children’s Hospital and Ohio State University.United States Physiological ReportsPhysiol Rep 2022; DOI: 10.14814/phy2.15342 AbstractThe hallmark of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is vascular remodeling. We have previously shown that human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (hPMVEC) respond to hypoxia with epidermal growth factor (EGF) mediated activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase, EGF […]
