Abstract excerpt
The pulmonary vascular remodeling (PVR), the pathological basis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), entails pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) phenotypic switching, but appreciation of the underlying mechanisms is incomplete. Exosomes, a novel transfer machinery enabling delivery of its cargos to recipient cells, have been recently implicated in cardiovascular diseases including PH. The two critical...
