The role of serotonin in pulmonary arterial hypertension has been extensively studied in recent decades, with preclinical data indicating involvement in disease pathogenesis; however, clinical studies have yielded mixed results. New research published in The Lancet suggests that the seratonin pathway might not be a suitable option for pulmonary arterial hypertension therapy. ELEVATE-2 was a

In pulmonary arterial hypertension lung samples researchers have observed elevated asporin levels and found a link between these levels and lower disease severity. Higher levels of asporin appeared to counteract the pathological remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature that characterizes pulmonary arterial hypertension.
