chronic thromboembolic disease :: Article Creator Anoikis, Form Of Natural Cell Death, May Help In Diagnosing CTEPH Anoikis, a form of programmed cell death, is involved in the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), according to a genetic analysis study. Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes associated with CTEPH — PLAUR and HMOX1 — which may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or as treatment targets. Data also suggest that stannsoporfin, a drug that inhibits the protein encoded by HMOX1, may offer a way of treating CTEPH patients, the scientists, all in China, reported. The study, "Identification of Anoikis-related potential biomarkers and therapeutic drugs in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension via bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiment," was published in Nature Scientific Reports. Activity levels of 2 genes higher in blood of people with CTEPH In CTEPH, a rare form of...
