Antifibrotic effect of lung-resident progenitor cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity

Abstract Background Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) is highly expressed in stem/progenitor cells in various tissues, and cell populations with high ALDH activity (ALDHbr) are associated with tissue repair. However, little is known about lung-resident ALDHbr. This study was performed to clarify the cha...
