Article Synopsis
- Propranolol, a non-selective β-adrenergic blocker, is the first-line treatment for infantile hemangioma, but the exact mechanisms behind its effectiveness are not fully understood.
- Researchers successfully used propranolol to treat pericardial edema in a patient with HLTRS syndrome and demonstrated its effectiveness in a mouse model, particularly through its action as an inhibitor of the SOX18 transcription factor.
- The findings suggest that the R(+) enantiomer of propranolol could be repurposed to treat various vascular diseases and metastatic cancer, highlighting the significance of SOX18 in these conditions.
