Abstract excerpt
Signaling through platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα) is required for alveolar septation and participates in alveolar regeneration after pneumonectomy. In both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, bipotent pdgfrα-expressing progenitors expressing delta-like ligand-1 or sex-determining region Y box 9 (Sox9) may differentiate into either lipid storage cells or myofibroblasts. We analyzed markers of...
