Integrating Mechanical Force into Lung Development
Abstract
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Tang et al. (2018) and Li et al. (2018) combine genetic manipulation, mechanical perturbation, and live imaging to show how mechanical forces and local growth factors intersect to influence epithelial behavior and cell fate specification within the developing lung.
