Pulmonary developmental alveologenesis occurs, in substantial part, by subdivision (septation) of the gas-exchange saccules of the morphologically immature lung. It determines the starting point of age- and disease-related alveolar loss. Because alve

Diminished lung function, indicated by a low forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and short physical stature, predict early mortality from all causes, including cardiovascular, among smokers and never smokers. The basis for these associatio

Alveolar regenerative gene expression is unidentified partly because its onset, after a regenerative stimulus, is unknown. Toward addressing this void, we used a mouse model in which calorie restriction produces alveolar loss, and ad libitum access t

In humans, age results in loss of pulmonary alveoli; menopause accelerates loss of diffusing capacity, an index of alveolar surface area; and disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) results in loss of alveoli. Thus, an important goal fo

Female rats and mice have smaller and, per body mass (BM), more alveoli and alveolar surface area (Sa) than males of their respective species. This sexual dimorphism becomes apparent about the time of sexual maturity. It is prevented in rats (not tes

A technically easy, noninvasive means of delivering molecules to alveoli, which act selectively or specifically in the lung, would be experimentally and therapeutically useful. As proof of principle, we took advantage of the spreading ability of pulm

Treatment of newborn mice with dexamethasone (Dex) inhibits the subdivision of lung saccules to form alveoli; treatment with all- trans retinoic acid (RA) prevents this inhibition of septation. To better understand the early molecular signals respons

The lung's only known essential function is to provide sufficient alveolar surface to meet the organism's need for oxygen and elimination of CO2. The importance of the magnitude of alveolar surface area (Sa) to O2uptake (V˙o2) is supported by the pr

In this issue of the Journal, Checkley et al. report that, in a region with endemic vitamin A (retinol) deficiency, children whose mothers had received vitamin A supplementation before, during, and for 6 months after pregnancy had better lung functio
