Epithelial Stem Cell - Niche Interactions in Lung Development, Homeostasis, Regeneration and Disease Virtual Conference

In the last years, a significant advance in the field of respiratory stem cell biology has occurred. However, there is
still little knowledge about the regulation of lung stem cell behaviour by the niche and further investigation is
required. Understanding the interactions between lung stem cells and their niche as well as studying how changes in
the local microenvironment affect stem cell behaviour, will contribute to comprehend the development of disease
and to discover novel therapeutic approaches.
