A postnatal human lung developmental atlas reveals windows of genetic vulnerability to chronic lung disease
2026-03-24
Abstract excerpt
At birth, the lungs undergo an abrupt physiologic change, as the function of gas exchange transitions from the placenta to the lung. Subsequent postnatal development of the lungs is marked by a rapid and profound increase in the growth of the distal airways and alveolar gas exchange compartment. Insults during this period increase the risk of developing lung disease later in life, though how early-life events affe...
