Monocrotaline Induces Endothelial Injury and Pulmonary Hypertension by Targeting the Extracellular Calcium–Sensing Receptor

BackgroundMonocrotaline has been widely used to establish an animal model of pulmonary hypertension. The molecular target underlying monocrotaline‐induced pulmonary artery endothelial injury and pulmonary hypertension remains unknown. The extracellular calcium–sensing receptor (CaSR) and particularl...
