Type I and III collagen protein precursors and mRNA in the developing human lung
18 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular matrix proteins have a prominent role in both ontogenesis and fibrogenesis in the human lung. The aim of this study was to analyse the expression of newly formed precursor proteins and mRNA of collagen types I and III in developing human lung tissues from 12 to 40 weeks of gestation, and also in neonatal disorders such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
