Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary vascular remodeling is the main pathological hallmark of pulmonary hypertension disease. We undertook a comprehensive and multilevel approach to investigate the origin of smooth muscle actin-expressing cells in remodeled vessels. Transgenic mice that allow for specific, inducible, and permanent labeling of endothelial (Cdh5-tdTomato), smooth muscle (Acta2-, Myh11-tdTomato), pericyte (Cspg4-tdTomato),...
