Abstract:
Basal cells are an important stem cell lineage in many tissues, including the lung. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Yang et. al. (2018) find that basal cells emerge very early in lung development and that a subset of these contributes to the expansive epithelial wound response observed after influenza injury.
