Keratinocyte growth factor enhances post-pneumonectomy lung growth by alveolar proliferation

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) has been shown to play an important role in pneumocyte proliferation and lung development. We hypothesized that exogenous KGF would enhance postpneumonectomy compensatory lung growth through alveolar proliferation. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Left pneumonect...
