Abstract
Autonomic nerves innervate the lungs, but how these nerves guide lung development remains unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Zhang etal. reveal that myofibroblasts and developing nerves cross-communicate through neurotrophins and neurotransmitters to drive alveologenesi-and that planar cell polarity signaling is critical to this process.
