Female fibroblast activation is estrogen-mediated in sex-specific 3D-bioprinted pulmonary artery adventitia models
2025-01-22
Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) impacts male and female patients in different ways. Female patients exhibit a greater susceptibility to disease (4:1 female-to-male ratio) but live longer after diagnosis than male patients.
