Past and Future of Alveolar Organoids for Lung Regenerative Medicine.
Stem Cells 2024 March 26
The lung is regarded as having limited regenerative capacity, and there are few treatment options for refractory lung diseases, such as interstitial pneumonia. Lung transplantation is the final option available in some scenarios. Research in this area has been slow owing to the complex structure of the lung for efficient gas exchange between the alveolar spaces and capillaries as well as the difficulty in obtaining specimens from patients with progressive lung disease. However, basic research over the past decade in the field of mouse and human embryology using genetic lineage tracing techniques and stem cell biology using primary and pluripotent stem cell-derived alveolar organoids has begun to clarify the tissue response in various intractable lung diseases and the mechanisms underlying remodeling. Advancement in this area may expand potential therapeutic targets for alveolar regeneration, providing alternatives to lung transplantation, and contribute to the development of effective therapeutic methods that activate or repopulate stem cells in the lung. In this review, we cover research focused on alveolar epithelial cells and discuss methods expected to regenerate lungs that are damaged by diseases.
