Combined Application of 17𝛽-Estradiol and Progesterone Enhance Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Surfactant Protein Expression in Cultured Embryonic Lung Cells of Mice

Preterm delivery is associated with disruption of the placental supply with 17𝛽-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P). The aim is to evaluate the role of E2 and P on the regulation of key proteins in lung development in embryonic lung cells. Alveolar cell type II (AT-II) and central lung fibroblast cu...
