Control of airway tube diameter and integrity by secreted chitin-binding proteins in Drosophila.
The transporting function of many branched tubular networks like our lungs and circulatory system depend on the sizes and shapes of their branches. Understanding the mechanisms of tube size control during organ development may offer new insights into a variety of human pathologies associated with st...
