Differentiation of human pulmonary type II cells in vitro by glucocorticoid plus cAMP

Differentiation of human pulmonary type II cells in vitro by glucocorticoid plus cAMP

Mature alveolar type II cells that produce pulmonary surfactant are essential for adaptation to extrauterine life and prevention of infant respiratory distress syndrome. We have developed a new in vitro model to further investigate regulation of type II cell differentiation. Epithelial cells isolate...
