Zusammenfassung
The objective of this research is to help elucidate the genetic causes and developmental mechanisms of respiratory disease. A large-scale ethylnitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis forward genetic screen is being carried out to identify regulators of lung cell differentiation, alveolar morphogenesis, pulmonary vascular development as well as tracheal cartilage ring formation. We have screened 157 C57BL/6J F1 animals for recessive phenotypes at P7, and are currently trying to recover at least 51 potential respiratory disease mouse models including emphysema, pneumonia, alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD), idiopathic pulmo…
