Type IV collagen drives alveolar epithelial–endothelial association and the morphogenetic movements of septation

BACKGROUND: Type IV collagen is the main component of the basement membrane that gives strength to the blood–gas barrier (BGB). In mammals, the formation of a mature BGB occurs primarily after birth during alveologenesis and requires the formation of septa from the walls of the saccule. In contrast,...
