<i>Nmyc</i>plays an essential role during lung development as a dosage-sensitive regulator of progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation
17 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Understanding how lung progenitor cells balance proliferation against differentiation is relevant to clinical disorders such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia of premature babies and lung cancer. Previous studies have established that lung development is severely disrupted in mouse mutants with reduced levels of the proto-oncogene Nmyc, but the precise mechanisms involved have not been explored. We show here that...
