Transcriptomics Analysis Identifies the Decline in the Alveolar Type II Stem Cell Niche in Aged Human Lungs
18 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Aging poses a global public health challenge, which is linked to the rise of age-related lung diseases. The precise understanding of the molecular and genetic changes in the aging lung that elevate the risk of acute and chronic lung diseases remains incomplete. Alveolar type II (AT2) cells are stem cells that maintain epithelial homeostasis and repair the lung after injury. AT2 progenitor function decreases with...
