Branch mode selection during early lung development.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Jan 2012

Menshykau Denis, Kraemer Conradin, Iber Dagmar

Abstract excerpt

Many organs of higher organisms, such as the vascular system, lung, kidney, pancreas, liver and glands, are heavily branched structures. The branching process during lung development has been studied in great detail and is remarkably stereotyped. The branched tree is generated by the sequential, non-random use of three geometrically simple modes of branching (domain branching, planar and orthogonal bifurcation)....
