From Bench Top to Bedside: Formation of Pulmonary Alveolar Epithelial Cells by Maintenance Cells and Healing Cells
Authors: Asa C. Black Jr., Shanna Williams and Henry E. Young
Abstract
Pulmonary disease is a source of serous morbidity and mortality. Cell treatments offer hope for rejuvenation and repair of damaged lungs. The possibility of using maintenance cells and/or healing cells to repair damaged lungs has been studied for nearly two decades. This paper reviews pertinent research investigating the different models and approaches that have been studied concerning the use of donor-derived cells to increase alveolar stem cells in damaged lungs.
