Stem cells and chronic lung disease

Article Abstract:

Stem cells are shown to contribute to the repair and regeneration of injured lungs, and thus the stem cell in the lung is perhaps critical in determining whether good or bad stem cells are involved in local repair and whether fibrosis predominates. The present knowledge in the area of stem cells for repair and regeneration of the lungs is reviewed.
