The molecular pathology of bone morphogenetic protein signalling in the normal and pulmonary hypertensive lung

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterised by a fixed elevation in pulmonary artery pressure in response to intraluminal vascular cell proliferations. Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling exerts powerful mitogenic responses in vascular cells although the complete mechanisms by whi...
