Dedifferentiated early postnatal lung myofibroblasts redifferentiate in adult disease
2023-10-06
Abstract excerpt
Alveolarization ensures sufficient lung surface area for gas exchange, and during bulk alveolarization in mice (postnatal day [P] 4.5-14.5), alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) + myofibroblasts accumulate, secrete elastin, and lay down alveolar septae. Herein, we delineate the dynamics of the lineage of early postnatal SMA + myofibroblasts during and after bulk alveolarization and in response to lung injury. SMA +...
