Characterization of an immortalized human small airway basal stem/progenitor cell line with airway region-specific differentiation capacity

Characterization of an immortalized human small airway basal stem/progenitor cell line with airway region-specific differentiation capacity

Abstract Background The pathology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and most lung cancers involves the small airway epithelium (SAE), the single continuous layer of cells lining the airways ≥ 6th generations. The basal cells (BC) are the stem/progen...
