mortality/aging
respiratory system
• primitive lung saccules fail to expand and contain abundant mesenchyme unlike in wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit type II cells, Clara cells, and muscular and vascular structures
|
• lungs fail to exhibit thinning of the mesenchyme unlike in wild-type mice
|
• lung interstitial spaces are thicker and more densely populated by mesenchyme than in wild-type mice
