Fetal Tracheal Occlusion Correlates with Normalized YAP Expression and Alveolar Epithelial Differentiation in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
11 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by incomplete closure of the diaphragm. Although the ensuing compression to the fetal lung causes lung hypoplasia, specific cellular phenotypes and developmental signaling defects in the alveolar epithelium in CDH are not fully understood. Employing lung samples from human CDH, a surgical lamb model, and a nitrofen rat model, we investigated whether lung...
