Quantification of Mouse Lung Elastin During Prenatal Development
Elastic fibres play a crucial function during the process of lung alveolisation. During the perinatal period, any changes in the elastogenic process during foetal development may result in permanent lifetime defects. In pre-natal life, well-developed pulmonary elastic fibres should favor the pre-natal maturation of the lung and an enhanced alveolisation, which in many species, such as humans be...
متن کاملPrenatal Lung Development
Lung development requires integration of multiple regulatory factors that mediate patterns of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and death. These developmental programs, which include transcription factors and signaling molecules, are likely re-enlisted during recovery of the lung following injury. Understanding these processes could provide important insight into controlling cell ...
متن کاملEvalauation of Laminin Expression during Mouse Lens Development
Introduction: Among the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM), laminitis heterotrimeric glycoprotein (laminin) and collagen type IV are the most important. In a previous study we have examined the role of collagen type IV in the developing lens capsule. The present study aims to determine the appearance and distribution of laminin in the BM and ECM of lenses ...
متن کاملCollagen and elastin cross-linking is altered during aberrant late lung development associated with hyperoxia.
Maturation of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the formation of alveolar gas exchange units. A key step in ECM maturation is cross-linking of collagen and elastin, which imparts stability and functionality to the ECM. During aberrant late lung development in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) patients and animal models of BPD, alveolarization is blocked, and the func...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile Analysis during Mouse Tooth Development
Introduction: Complex molecular pathways involve in development of different tissues such as teeth. Differential gene expression patterns during teeth development generates different tooth types. Teeth development results from interactions between oral epithelium and underlying ectomesenchyme cells with neural crest origin. Teeth development are regulated by different signaling networks. In thi...
