Evidence for the involvement of Fibroblast Growth Factor 10 in lipofibroblast formation during embryonic lung development
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Lipid-containing alveolar interstitial fibroblasts (lipofibroblasts) are increasingly recognized as an important component of the epithelial stem cell niche in the rodent lung. Although lipofibroblasts were initially believed merely to assist type 2 alveolar epithelial cells in surfactant production during neonatal life, recent evidence suggests that these cells are indispensable for survival and growth of...
