Pulmonary Fissures – How do they form?

Abstract

Variations of pulmonary fissures are a factor during pulmonary surgery. Data regarding their development is limited. 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.
