In fall of 2011, within 3 months of the lab’s inception, one simple experiment launched an exciting campaign in exploring the role of Wnt signaling in pulmonary angiogenesis.
Several studies have showed the importance of Wnt signaling for heart tissue repair in the left ventricle, but fewer studies have been done to understand Wnt’s role in right ventricle hypertrophy.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable disease characterized by progressive parenchymal fibrosis resulting in chronic repiratory failure and premature death.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disorder that is associated with abnormal increase in pulmonary pressures resulting from progressive loss and impaired regeneration of pulmonary microvessels.
