Abstract excerpt
Alveolar type 2 epithelial (AT2) cells synthesize surfactant protein C (SPC) and repair an injured alveolar epithelium. A mutated surfactant protein C gene (SftpcL184Q, Gene ID: 6440) in newborns has been associated with respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary fibrosis. However, the underlying mechanisms causing Sftpc gene mutations to regulate AT2 lineage remain unclear. We utilized three-dimensional (3D)...
