Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lung alveolarization, the development of the alveoli, is disturbed in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the most common complication of preterm birth. Animal models based on oxygen toxicity to the developing mouse lung are used to understand the mechanisms of stunted alveolarization in BPD, and to develop new medical management strategies for affected infants. The toxicity of...
