Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, life-threatening vasculopathy characterized by sustained vasoconstriction and pathological remodeling of small pulmonary arteries. While current vasodilator therapies improve symptoms and survival, they are not curative and fail to reverse vascular remodeling. Recently, a shift toward disease-modifying strategies has emerged, driven by preclinical advances now entering clinical translation. The approval of sotatercept, the first agent presumed to target vascular remodeling, and the development of seralutinib, an inhaled tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), mark key milestones. In this review, we focus on anti-remodeling therapies that have progressed from preclinical models to clinical trials. These include agents targeting cell cycle regulators, kinase pathways, epigenetic modifiers, bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) signaling, and senescence in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), offering renewed hope for durable PAH treatment.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that focuses on a wide range of topics in pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and toxicology. Launched in 1979, TIPS publishes concise articles discussing the latest advancements in pharmacology and therapeutics research.
The journal encourages submissions that align with its core themes while also being open to articles on the biopharma regulatory landscape, science policy and regulation, and bioethics.
Each issue of TIPS provides a platform for experts to share their insights and perspectives on the most exciting developments in the field. Through rigorous peer review, the journal ensures the quality and reliability of published articles.
Authors are invited to contribute articles that contribute to the understanding of pharmacology and its applications in various domains. Whether it's exploring innovative drug therapies or discussing the ethical considerations of pharmaceutical research, TIPS provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the pharmacological sciences.
