Genetic disorders influencing lung formation and function at birth
9 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Adaptation to air breathing at birth is dependent on formation and function of the lung. Lung morphogenesis is a complex process dependent on precise temporal-spatial control of cell proliferation, differentiation and behavior mediated by autocrine-paracrine signaling that instructs transcriptional processes during organogenesis. Mutations in genes causing severe, and often lethal, lung malformations include...
