Abstract excerpt
Impaired pulmonary angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in the progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and patient mortality, yet the molecular mechanisms driving this process remain enigmatic. Our study uncovered a striking connection between mitochondrial dysfunction (MD), caused by a humanized mutation in the NFU1 gene, and severely disrupted pulmonary angiogenesis in adult lungs. Restoring the...
