Retinoic acid induces alveolar regeneration in the adult mouse lung
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent data suggests that exogenous retinoic acid (RA) can induce alveolar regeneration in a mouse and a rat model of experimental emphysema and disrupted alveolar development. This may be because RA is required during normal alveolar development and the subsequent provision of RA reawakens the gene cascades used during development. Here, additional evidence that RA is required during alveologenesis in the mouse...
