This was a very interesting and exciting paper that I discovered today via Pulmonary Hypertension News: “Vascular stiffness mechanoactivates YAP/TAZ-dependent glutaminolysis to drive pulmonary hypertension”. I’m a large proponent of the hypothesis that metabolic dysregulation and immune dysfunction are key drivers in the development of pulmonary hypertension. This paper adds weight to my case that the former is most likely a key element in PH pathogenesis. I’ve also always believed that due to the enigmatic nature of the disease, and presence of “cancer”, “autoimmune”, and “metabolic dysregulation” like features, solving PH can potentially solve problems like cancer and autoimmunity.
