Aim: The present study investigates the role of NF-κB in Bmpr2-related pulmonary hypertension (PH) using a murine model of PH with inducible overexpression of a cytoplasmic tail Bmpr2 mutation. Methods and Results: Electrophoretic mobility shift assa...
A culture of exercise testing is firmly embedded in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) but its clinical relevance and utility have recently been under some debate. The six minute walk test (6MWT) has been used as a primary outcom...
Recently we described skin tumors driven by skin-specific expression of Zmiz1 and here we define keratoacanthoma pathobiology in this mouse model. Similar to human keratoacanthoma development, we were able to segregate murine keratoacanthomas into th...
There is evidence that the economic crisis in Greece has substantially affected patients and health care services, with chronic patients forming a particularly vulnerable group. The aim of this study was to investigate whether and in what way the cur...
