Live imaging of alveologenesis in precision-cut lung slices reveals dynamic epithelial cell behaviour
12 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Damage to alveoli, the gas-exchanging region of the lungs, is a component of many chronic and acute lung diseases. In addition, insufficient generation of alveoli results in bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a disease of prematurity. Therefore visualising the process of alveolar development (alveologenesis) is critical for our understanding of lung homeostasis and for the development of treatments to repair and...
