Abstract
Methods to isolate and characterize stem cell populations from the lung are emerging, making it possible to begin to map out the pathways that are required for stem cell function in the adult lung. A new study by Ventura et al. (2007) points to a requirement for MAPK14 (also known as p38alpha) in regulation of lung stem or progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation.
