Effects of fibroblast growth factor-2 on longitudinal bone growth.

abstract：:During lung development there is tension between positive and negative regulators of fibroblast-epithelial communication controlling type II cell differentiation. A clinical consequence of imbalance of this tension is the increased risk for respiratory distress syndrome in male infants. We hypothesized that chronic in...
