Role of collagen content and cross-linking in large pulmonary arterial stiffening after chronic hypoxia

Abstract Chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is associated with large pulmonary artery (PA) stiffening, which is correlated with collagen accumulation. However, the mechanisms by which collagen contributes to PA stiffening remain largely unexplored. Moreover, HPH may alter mechanical proper...
