| A shout-out to Pediatric Pulmonology fellow Dr. Jordan Fett and the labs of Dr. John Carroll at Arkansas Children’s and Dr. Roy Morello in Physiology and Cell Biology on their new article in Physiological Reports. Dr. Fett is first author on “Haploinsufficiency of Col5a1 causes intrinsic lung and respiratory changes in a mouse model of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.” The paper is the first comprehensive characterization of respiratory abnormalities and pulmonary function in a mouse model of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues, primarily the skin, joints and walls of blood vessels. Milena Dimori, a Research Assistant in Dr. Morello’s lab, also contributed to the project. |
