Abstract
- The lung undergoes a striking repair process in response to severe injuries such as influenza infection. A study now demonstrates that associated stem/progenitor cells are heterogeneous in nature and comprise subpopulations dominated by hypoxia/Notch or Wnt signalling. Modulation of this heterogeneity in favour of functional repair may have therapeutic value.
