Abstract
Autophagy is a recycling process that degrades damaged or unneeded cellular components for renewal. Accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulation of autophagy is involved in pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH is a progressive disease characterized by persistent proliferation of apoptosis-resistant pulmonary vascular cells. However, reports on the role of autophagy in the development of PH are often conflicting. In this review, we discuss recent...
