Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early lung morphogenesis is driven by tissue interactions. Signals from the lung mesenchyme drive epithelial morphogenesis, but which individual mesenchymal cell types are influencing early epithelial branching and differentiation remains unclear. It has been shown that endothelial cells are involved in epithelial repair and regeneration in the adult lung, and they may also play a role in driving...
