Therapeutic potential of KLF2-induced exosomal microRNAs in pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe lung disease characterised by progressive vascular remodelling. Here, the authors show that reduced signalling of flow-activated transcription factor KLF2 is a common feature of human PAH and that KLF2-regulated exosomal miRNAs have a therapeutic effect.
