Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in
preterm infants. A key histopathological feature of BPD is stunted late lung development …

Lung development is not completed at birth, but expands beyond infancy, rendering the lung
highly susceptible to injury. Exposure to various influences during a critical window of organ …

Obesity is a pre-disposing condition for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and
pulmonary arterial hypertension. Accumulating evidence suggests that metabolic influences …

Although aberrant alveolar myofibroblasts (AMYFs) proliferation and differentiation are often
associated with abnormal lung development and diseases, such as bronchopulmonary …

Our main objective was to study respiratory evolution and pulmonary and cardiac function in
adolescents born preterm in the post-surfactant era. Observational cross-sectional study …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial disease occurring as a consequence
of premature birth, as well as antenatal and postnatal injury to the developing lung. BPD …

Prematurely born infants often require supplemental oxygen that impairs lung growth and
results in arrest of alveolarization and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The growth …

Background The study aimed to analyze the effect of uteroplacental insufficiency (UPI) on
leptin expression and lung development of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) rats …

Limited information is available on how fetal growth retardation (FGR) affects the lung in the
neonatal period in males and females. This led us to test the hypothesis that FGR alters lung …

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between prenatal dexamethasone exposure
(PDE) and susceptibility to pulmonary fibrosis in offspring. Healthy female Wistar rats were …
