Cloned airway basal progenitor cells to repair fibrotic lung through re-epithelialization

Abstract Irreversible damage of the lung epithelium in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients causes high mortality worldwide, with no lung repair approaches available currently. Here we show that in murine and monkey models, the KRT5+ P63+ progenitor cells in airway basal layer can enter the...
