mortality/aging
respiratory system
• bronchi have smaller luminal area
|
• reduced trachealis muscle
|
• abnormal morphology indicates ventralization of the tracheal mesenchyme
• decreased cell proliferation in the tracheal epithelium between E11.5 and E13.5
• impaired formation of mesenchymal condensations
|
• mispatterned cartilage that extends into the dorsal side of the trachea
• gaps in chondrogenesis are seen on the ventral aspect of the trachea
