A novel human fetal lung-derived alveolar organoid model reveals mechanisms of surfactant protein C maturation relevant to interstitial lung disease
2023-08-30
Abstract excerpt
Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells maintain lung health by acting as stem cells and producing pulmonary surfactant 1–3 . AT2 dysfunction underlies many lung diseases including interstitial lung disease (ILD), in which some inherited forms result from mislocalisation of surfactant protein C (SFTPC) variants 4,5 . Disease modelling and dissection of mechanisms remains challenging due to complexities in deriving and maint...
