Increased lung expansion alters lung growth but not alveolar epithelial cell differentiation in newborn lambs.

Abstract excerpt

Although increased lung expansion markedly alters lung growth and epithelial cell differentiation during fetal life, the effect of increasing lung expansion after birth is unknown. We hypothesized that increased basal lung expansion, caused by ventilating newborn lambs with a positive end-expirat...
