Morphologic and molecular investgations of pulmonary branching in fetal lung explants from the nitrofen-rat model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with or without tracheal occlusion
Fetal tracheal occlusion (TO) has been investigated as a treatment option for lung hypoplasia secondary to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). TO has been shown to accelerate lung growth but its effect on bronchial branching is unknown. In this study we characterized the effects of in vitro TO on...
