The Protective Role of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins in Pulmonary Artery

Familial primary pulmonary arterial hypertension (FPAH) is associated with mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor II (BMPRII). The role of this mutation in vascular tone and structural remodelling in PAH is unknown. The aim of this thesis was.to determine the ability of BMPRII ligands to m...
