AI Article Synopsis
- Recent research has uncovered specific populations of epithelial stem and progenitor cells in the lung.
- Understanding how these cells maintain normal function, repair damage, and sometimes behave abnormally is an emerging focus in the field.
- The text explores the idea of regulatory niches that influence the behavior of these epithelial stem cells in the lung.
Article Abstract
Recent studies have identified epithelial stem and progenitor cell populations of the lung. We are just beginning to understand the mechanisms that regulate their homeostatic, regenerative and maladaptive behaviors. Here, we discuss evidence of regulatory niches for epithelial stem cells of the lung.
