Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Human and Mouse Canalicular Lungs in Fetal Diaphragmatic Hernia

The nitrofen model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is widely used in translational research. However, the molecular pathways associated with pulmonary hypoplasia in this model compared to the human CDH phenotype have not been well described. The aim of this study was to investigate differentially expressed genes (DEG) and signaling pathways in early stage fetal lungs in mouse and human CDH.
