Focal sources of FGF-10 promote the buckling morphogenesis of the embryonic airway epithelium

During airway branching morphogenesis, focal regions of FGF-10 expression in the pulmonary mesenchyme are thought to provide a local guidance cue, which promotes chemotactically the directional outgrowth of the airway epithelium. Here, however, we show that an ectopic source of FGF-10 induces epithe...
