With a protein drug grown in the leaves of lettuce plants, the School of Dental Medicine’s Henry Daniell and colleagues hope to provide new treatment options.
In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), high blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries causes the heart to work extra hard to pump blood to the lungs and around the rest of the body. The condition is rare but deadly, and current treatments are expensive and have side effects and inconvenient modes of delivery. There is no cure.
So interesting, and hopeful too. Thanks.
Great, can I just increase my lettuce consumption? Happy to do that. We have salad most days.
Hmmm....
