Dynamically stiffening biomaterials reveal age- and sex-specific differences in pulmonary arterial adventitial fibroblast activation
18 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Respiratory diseases like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) frequently exhibit sexual dimorphism. Female PAH patients are more susceptible to the disease but have increased survival rates. This phenomenon is known as the estrogen paradox, and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. During PAH progression in vivo, human pulmonary arterial adventitial fibroblasts (hPAAFs) differentiate into an...
