Elucidating how mutations in EIF2AK4 cause pulmonary vascular disease
Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is an incurable condition characterised by the progressive remodelling of pulmonary veins, venules and capillaries. This obstruction of the pulmonary vessels causes increased pulmonary pressures which leads to right ventricular hypertrophy, and death within …

Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Nutrient Sensing Kinase GCN2
… a wide range of cellular processes in health and diseases, including the development of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, neurological degeneration and cancer. The molecular mechanisms that control the regulation and activation of GCN2 remain unclear. Some insights have been provided through …

Hypoxia-induced responses of porcine pulmonary veins.
The pulmonary vein (PV) constricts to hypoxia however little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Hypoxic PV constriction is proposed to recruit upstream capillary beds and optimise gas exchange in healthy humans and may play a role in high altitude pulmonary oedema. The PV is also intrinsic …

Phenotype – genotype associations in a large cohort of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Idiopathic and heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are rare diseases with a poor prognosis. There is significant heterogeneity in clinical features at diagnosis, and in a proportion of patients there is a genetic cause of the disease. This clinical and genetic heterogeneity has hindered …
