Tempo-spatial regulation of the Wnt pathway by FAM13A modulates the stemness of alveolar epithelial progenitors
1 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background Family with Sequence Similarity 13, Member A (FAM13A) gene has been consistently associated with COPD by Genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our previous study demonstrated that FAM13A was mainly expressed in the lung epithelial progenitors including Club cells and alveolar type II epithelial (ATII) cells. Fam13a −/− mice were resistant to cigarette smoke (CS)–induced emphysema through promoting...
