Increased epithelial cell proliferation in very premature baboons with chronic lung disease
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Coordinated proliferation of lung cells is required for normal lung growth and differentiation. Chronic injury to developing lung may disrupt normal patterns of cell proliferation. To examine patterns of cell proliferation in injured developing lungs, we investigated premature baboons delivered at 125 days gestation (approximately 67% of term) and treated with oxygen and ventilation for 6, 14, or 21 days (PRN)....
