Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary alveoli, especially in females, are estrogen-responsive structures: ovariectomy in wild-type (WT) adult mice results in alveolar loss, and estradiol replacement induces alveolar regeneration. Furthermore, estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha and ER-beta are required for the developmental format...
