Description

Most organs in the adult human body are able to maintain themselves and undergo repair after injury; these processes are largely dependent on stem cells.

In this Monograph, the Guest Editors bring together leading authors in the field to provide information about the different classes of stem cells present both in the developing and adult lung: where they are found, how they function in homeostasis and pathologic conditions, the mechanisms that regulate their behaviour, and how they may be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.

The book focuses on stem cells in the mouse and human lung but also includes the ferret as an increasingly important new model organism.

Chapters also discuss how lung tissue, including endogenous stem cells, can be generated in vitro from pluripotent stem cell lines.

This state-of-the-art collection comprehensively covers one of the most exciting areas of respiratory science
