Role of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Pulmonary Vascular Disease
History:
I am convinced that the disease is caused by the increasing mass of inner vascular tissue during its development….to connective tissue…caused by inflammation. However, I contest the term “inflammation” to characterize a process with nothing whatsoever to do with inflammation. Professor Julius Klob, M.D., 1839-1879 regarded as the first to describe primary pulmonary hypertension
Might cell specific expression of hypoxia-inducible factors modulate normal and abnormal PVR?
Pulmonary hypertension: No effective treatment or cure
7 year median survival No cure or reliably effective therapies Despite substantial therapeutic pipeline ($), patient specific Tx Complicates many childhood diseases-
