Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Theresa Burke-Wolin"
- Theresa Burke-Wolin's research primarily focuses on the interactions and regulatory mechanisms involving angiotensin II and nitric oxide production in pulmonary artery endothelial cells, emphasizing their implications for vascular function and pathology.
- In a 2004 study, Burke-Wolin demonstrated that angiotensin II promotes nitric oxide production through the angiotensin type 2 receptor, highlighting the distinct roles of type 1 and type 2 receptors in modulating vasoconstriction in pulmonary arteries.
- Another investigation published in 2002 explored the effects of human heme oxygenase-1 gene transfer on cGMP modulation, revealing that increased expression of heme oxygenase in endothelial cells led to altered cGMP levels, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for pulmonary vascular diseases.
