Vagal α7nAChR signaling regulates α7nAChR+Sca1+ cells during lung injury repair

Abstract Background The distal airways of the lung and bone marrow are innervated by the vagus nerve. Vagal α7nAChR signaling plays a key role in regulating lung infection and inflammation; however, whether this pathway regulates α7nAChR+Sca1+ cells during lung injury repair remains unknown. We hypo...
