    Collapse Overview
    Currently, the only way to replace lung tissue is to perform lung transplantation, which is an complicate procedure that achieves only 10 to 20% survival at 10 years and is hampered by a severe shortage of donor organs. The ability to reconstruct lung tissue from hPSCs would fundamentally change the outlook of pulmonary medicine. In vitro generated lung tissue could be used for regenerative purposes. Alternatively, postnatal lung stem cells could be generated in sufficient quantities from hPSCs and used for stem-cell therapies and regenerative medicine. Over the past few years, lung progenitor populations have been identified in mouse models. It has become clear that many types of differentiated epithelial cells in the lung, such as club and ATII cells, can function as stem cells in steady state and following injury. Our research interests are applying human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)) as a model to study the mechanisms of lung injury repair and ultimately apply the hPSC-derived lung stem/progenitor or mature airway/lung epithelial cells to facilitate lung injury repair, stem-cell therapy, and regenerative medicine.
