Stochastic simulations of self-organized elastogenesis in the developing lung

In the normal lung, the dominant cable is an elastic “line element” composed of elastin fibers bound to a protein scaffold. The cable line element maintains alveolar geometry by balancing surface forces within the alveolus and changes in lung volume with exercise. Recent work in the postnatal rat lu...
