Role of mechanical signals in a 3D human model of alveolar differentiation

Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Trust BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships

Alveolar epithelial type I (AT1) and type II (AT2) cells are essential for normal lung function following birth. Abnormal differentiation of AT1 and AT2 cells during development results in pulmonary pathology with associated neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity. Read more
