Knockout of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor impairs distal lung morphogenesis.

Knockout of insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor impairs distal lung morphogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and -II) are pleiotropic regulators of somatic growth and development in vertebrate species. Endocrine and paracrine effects of both hormones are mediated by a common IGF type 1 receptor (IGF-1R). Lethal respiratory failure in neonatal IGF-1R knockout m...
