Abstract excerpt
Chronic hypoxia triggers pulmonary vascular remodeling, which is associated with a modulation of the vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype from a contractile, differentiated to a synthetic, dedifferentiated state. We previously reported that acute hypoxia represses cGMP-dependent protein ki...
