The RNA-binding protein quaking is upregulated in nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia lungs at the end of gestation

This study identifies upregulation of the RNA-binding protein Quaking (QKI) in late-gestation rat lungs with nitrofen-induced congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The findings suggest QKI dysregulation may contribute to abnormal lung development in CDH, offering potential insights into disease mechanisms.
