PAH is a…
A new, aerosol-delivered gene therapy has shown promising effects in a pig model of pulmonary hypertension (PH), according to a study published in the Journal of The American College of Cardiology (JACC), titled “Intratracheal Gene Delivery of SERCA2a Ameliorates Chronic Post-Capillary Pulmonary Hypertension“. PH is characterized by…
