Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) can adopt an epithelial phenotype in the lung following bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This phenomenon has been assumed to result from the lung injury that occurs with myeloablative radiation. To date, no study has related the degree of epithelial chimerism following bone marrow transplantation to the lung damage induced by preconditioning for BMT. Such a goal is crucial to...
