2020-04-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The diaphragm is a mammalian muscle critical for respiration and separation of the thoracic and abdominal cavities. Defects in the development of the diaphragm are the cause of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a common birth defect. In CDH, weaknesses in the developing diaphragm allow abdominal contents to herniate into the thoracic cavity and impair lung development, leading to a high neo...
