Failed alveolar formation and excess, disordered elastin are key features of neonatal chronic lung disease (CLD). We previously found fewer alveoli and more elastin in lungs of preterm compared with term lambs that had mechanical ventilation (MV) with O(2)-rich gas

In secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), enhanced parathyroid levels of transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) increase EGF receptor (EGFR) activation causing parathyroid hyperplasia, high parathyroid hormone (PTH) and also reductions in vitamin D receptor (VDR) that limit vitamin D suppression of SHPT.

In secondary hyperparathyroidism, enhanced expression of TGF-alpha in the parathyroid leads to its own upregulation, generating a feed-forward loop for TGF-alpha activation of its receptor, EGFR receptor (EGFR), which promotes parathyroid hyperplasia. These studies examined the role of activator protein
