Alveologenesis: key cellular players and fibroblast growth factor 10 signaling
21 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alveologenesis is the last stage in lung development and is essential for building the gas-exchanging units called alveoli. Despite intensive lung research, the intricate crosstalk between mesenchymal and epithelial cell lineages during alveologenesis is poorly understood. This crosstalk contributes to the formation of the secondary septae, which are key structures of healthy alveoli. CONCLUSIONS: A...
