Alveolar epithelial cells are competent producers of interstitial extracellular matrix with disease relevant plasticity in a human in vitro 3D model

2022-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The structure of alveoli is critical for normal lung function and when maintenance of the underlying extracellular matrix (ECM) that forms these delicate structures fails, patients may develop emphysema or lung fibrosis via pathological processes that are not fully understood. The alveolar walls are lined by alveolar epithelial cells (AEC), these cells have so far been implicated in pathologi...
