Functional Analysis of Two Distinct Bronchiolar Progenitors during Lung Injury and Repair
23 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Air spaces of the mammalian lung are lined by a specialized epithelium that is maintained by endogenous progenitor cells. Within bronchioles, the abundance and distribution of progenitor cells that contribute to epithelial homeostasis change as a function of maintenance versus repair. It is unclear whether functionally distinct progenitor pools or a single progenitor cell type maintain the epithelium and how the...
