Book Description: Understanding Lung Development and Disease
Lung disease is a significant global health concern, affecting over 600 million people worldwide. While many lung diseases have clear developmental origins, recent research highlights the critical role of normal lung development processes in maintaining postnatal tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of these pathways can lead to various lung diseases.
This comprehensive book offers an authoritative review of fetal and neonatal lung development, making it an essential resource for a diverse audience of scientists, from basic researchers to clinical practitioners. Readers will gain insights into the latest advancements in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern normal lung development, injury-repair processes, and how these mechanisms become disrupted in lung diseases.
