Abstract excerpt
Improving our understanding of diaphragmatic development is essential to making progress in defining the pathogenesis and genetic etiologies of congenital diaphragmatic defects in humans. As mouse genetic technology has given us new tools to manipulate and observe development, a number of mouse models have recently emerged that provide valuable insight to this field. In this article, we review our current...
