Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that fetal lung mesenchyme can reprogram embryonic rat tracheal epithelium to express a distal lung phenotype. We have also demonstrated that embryonic rat lung epithelium can be induced to proliferate and differentiate in the absence of lung mesenchyme. In the present study we used a complex growth medium to induce proliferation and distal lung epithelial differentiation in embryonic...
