Abstract excerpt
Activation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor II (BMPRII) promotes pulmonary artery endothelial cell (PAEC) survival, proliferation, and migration. Mutations to BMPRII are associated with the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Endothelial dysfunction, including decreased endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and loss of bioactive nitric oxide (NO), plays a prominent role...
