Mechanical Forces Speed Up Growth of the Lung
Twenty years ago, Donald Ingber (above) formulated a theory that mechanical forces help shape the labyrinth of buds and branches in the lungs. Now Ingber, Kimberly Moore, and colleagues report in the February Developmental Dynamics that they have found a way to demonstrate the theory. They were able to speed up and slow down budding and branching in embryonic mouse lungs. The findings point toward new approaches to treating human lung diseases, most notably those affecting newborns.
