Fgf10 deficiency is causative for lethality in a mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
22 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Inflammation‐induced FGF10 protein deficiency is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease of prematurely born infants characterized by arrested alveolar development. So far, experimental evidence for a direct role of FGF10 in lung disease is lacking. Using the hyperoxia‐induced neonatal lung injury as a mouse model of BPD, the impact of Fgf10 deficiency in Fgf10+/− versus...
