Prostacyclin receptor signalling and cell proliferation : role in pulmonary hypertension
Prostacyclin and its stable analogues are used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a disease associated with abnormal smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. These analogues are thought to mediate their anti proliferative effects through prostacyclin (IP) receptors linked to cyclic AMP (...
