Pulmonary Endocrine Cells in Hypoplastic Lungs Due to Foetal Urinary Tract Obstruction: A Microscopic Immunohistochemical Study

Abstract

These results suggest that UTO significantly retards and modifies the structural growth and functional development of pulmonary endocrine cells in NSE expression. We speculate that pulmonary endocrine cells and their mediators may play a role in the problems associated with UTO during intrauterine life.
