Responses of rat pleural mesothelia to increased intrathoracic pressure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a main chronic lung disease commonly occurs in preterm infants. BPD is characterized by impaired alveolarization and vascularization of the developing lung. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway is known to play an important role during lung vascular devel...
