| Research Abstract |
Type II pneumocytes prepared from male F344 rats were effectively integrated in the alveolar tissues of pneumonectomized rats (female), alveolar density of which were recognized to be enhanced (published).As like the above experiments using rats, compensatory lung growth is to be investigated in mice (B6). And also investigated is a relationship between histologic morphology and radiologic density obtained from computed tomography (on going).Human type II pneumocytes were prepared from clinically resected lung, and examined for capability to differentiate to type I pneumocytes and to be integrated in the lung tissue (submitted for publication).To prepare the future lung regeneration medicine, a novel method for estimated quantity of pulmonary tissue was developed (published).Human and murine iPS cells are to be subjected to culture for development of type II pneumocytes (on going).
