BMPR2 Therapy for Pulmonary Hypertension

肺动脉高压是一种影响肺部血管的疾病，会导致严重的呼吸短促和过早死亡。已知基因突变会导致这种疾病，但这些突变与肺部变化之间的确切联系尚不清楚。如果我们能更好地理解这个过程，我们就能设计出更好的治疗方法。这个项目将研究肺部细胞如何相互沟通，以及这个过程在肺动脉高压中是如何受到干扰的。

Pulmonary hypertension is a disease affecting the blood vessels in the lungs that causes severe shortness of breath and early death. Genetic mutations are known to cause this disease but the precise link between these mutations and the changes in the lungs are poorly understood. If we could understand this process better, we could design better treatments. This project will look at how the cells in the lungs communicate with each other and how this process is disturbed in pulmonary hypertension.
