Hal Dietz, MD The Use of Animal Models in Human Aortic Disease 2x
  • Given inherent differences between mice and people, why not use patients with Marfan Syndrome to initially test new treatment strategies?
  • TGFbeta is a critical regulator of some developmental processes that are not altered in the Marfan phenotype; why would that be so?
