Research Objective
This proposal will design new models to study behavior that is specific to human lung stem cells, and screen for drugs that can target abnormal stem cells in fibrotic disease.
Impact
This study will generate potential new therapeutic approaches to fibrotic lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Major Proposed Activities
Our proposal will seek new ways to target stem cells in fibrotic lung diseases that affect Californians. We will generate new approaches to study lung stem cells that could serve as a platform to discover drugs that will improve stem cell health in lung disease.
