A paracrine network regulates the cross-talk between human lung stem cells and the stroma

Abstract excerpt

The signals that regulate stem cell self-renewal and differentiation in the lung remain elusive. Lung stem cells undergo self-renewal or lineage commitment to replenish tissue, depending on cross-talk with their environment. This environment, also known as the niche, includes mesenchymal and endothelial tissues. Here we define molecular mechanisms involved in the interaction between human lung Lgr6+ stem cells...
