Research summary
AI-generated

Olga Rafikova studies pulmonary hypertension, a disease involving high blood pressure in the vessels of the lungs, and related cardiovascular conditions. The research examines biological mechanisms such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, cell death (necrosis), and molecular signaling pathways, often exploring differences between males and females in animal models. Studies also connect these processes to blood vessel function and treatment responses.
