Challenges in the biological understanding of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Symposium
Chairs: H. Wilkens (Homburg/Saar, Germany), A. Peacock (Glasgow, United Kingdom)
Aims: The symposium aims to discuss the biological background of pulmonary arterial hypertension to enhance the understanding of this disease, its variations, and its targets for therapeutic interventions. The audience should know at the end of the symposium where biological research evolves to find new targets of intervention in this devastating disease.
