Stretch is an essential mechanism for lung growth and development. (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632 decreased Rho A activation and blunted the stretch-induced changes in alveolar epithelial cell marker expression. Collectively these data offer further proof that mechanical excitement from the cytoskeleton and Rho activation are fundamental upstream occasions in mechanotransduction-associated alveolar epithelial cell differentiation. Intro The… Continue reading Stretch is an essential mechanism for lung growth and development. (ROCK)
