several workers have confirmed that the blood–air barrier of the lung consists of a capillary endothelium, a basement membrane and an uninterrupted alveolar endothelium. The permeability of this ...

Background—Pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (Dlco), alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc) are all significantly reduced after ...

In 2009, we demonstrated that haploinsufficiency of the transcriptional factor FOXF1 gene on 16q24.1 results in a lethal neonatal diffuse developmental lung disorder, alveolar capillary dysplasia with ...
