abstract：BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have demonstrated that fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) signaling may play a pivotal role in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Excessive endothelial FGF-2 contributes to smooth muscle hyperplasia and disease progression. PD173074 is a potent FGF receptor 1 (FGFR-1) ...
