Pulmonary Fissures – How do they form?
Abstract
For pulmonary surgery, the variation of pulmonary fissures matters but little is known about their development. Early fixation of the visceral pleura seems to be mediated by myofibroblasts and extracellular components like fibronectin. So far, no concepts explain sufficiently the origin of the shape and orientation of these fissures.
