Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a progressive, high‑mortality disease driven in part by maladaptive vascular remodeling. Phenotypic conversion of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is implicated in this process, but the cellular heterogeneity and regulatory drivers in IPAH remain incompletely defined. METHODS: We integrated scRNA‑seq datasets from IPAH and control lungs samples...
