Basal stem cell fate specification is mediated by SMAD signaling in the developing human lung
2018-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Basal stem cells (basal cells), located in the bronchi and trachea of the human lung epithelium, play a critical role in normal airway homeostasis and repair, and have been implicated in the development of diseases such as cancer 1-4 . Additionally, basal-like cells contribute to alveolar regeneration and fibrosis following severe injury 5-8 . However, the developmental origin of basal cells in humans is unclear...
