Epidermal growth factor-like domain 7 protects endothelial cells from hyperoxia-induced cell death
13 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Hyperoxia is one of the major contributors to the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease in premature infants. Emerging evidence suggests that the arrested lung development of BPD is associated with pulmonary endothelial cell death and vascular dysfunction resulting from hyperoxia-induced lung injury. A better understanding of the mechanism of hyperoxia-induced endothelial cell...
