Pulmonary epithelial-mesenchymal interactions: beyond organogenesis.

B T Smith, W A Fletcher

    Human Pathology
    |May 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cellular communication is crucial for fetal lung development and maturation, influencing both organogenesis and biochemical processes. Further research into intercellular signaling and pulmonary endothelium is vital for understanding lung growth.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Developmental Biology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions regulate lung growth and organogenesis.
    • Hormonal control is traditionally considered primary for fetal lung functional maturation.
    • Emerging evidence highlights the role of intercellular interactions in hormonal effects on lung maturation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the broader importance of cell-to-cell communication in lung development.
    • To investigate the role of intercellular interactions in the hormonal regulation of pulmonary maturation.
    • To examine the potential of pulmonary endothelium research for insights into lung maturation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recent evidence on lung development and maturation.
    • Analysis of the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.
    • Consideration of intercellular communication in hormonal effects.
    • Discussion of pulmonary endothelium in lung maturation.

    Main Results:

    • Cellular communication plays a significant role beyond initial organogenesis.
    • Hormonal effects on lung maturation are intertwined with intercellular signaling.
    • Pulmonary endothelium and airway epithelium differentiation warrant further investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • Intercellular communication is a critical, potentially underestimated, factor in lung maturation.
    • Further research into pulmonary endothelium and airway epithelium is needed.
    • Understanding these interactions is key to advancing knowledge of lung development.
