Netrin-1 Protein, Small Derivatives Show Promise to Lessen PH in Mice
An under-the-skin infusion of a protein called netrin-1 — originally found to regulate nervous system development — shows promise for lessening pulmonary hypertension (PH), a mouse study suggests. Additionally, the scientists found that three small peptides derived from netrin-1 also are a potential therapy for easing PH. The…
