| Research Abstract |
In our fetal lung implantation, donors could certainly survive and differentiate. Concerning the mechanism of survive of donors, the characteristics of fetal lung tissue and various transcriptional factor play important roles in embryonal lung morphogenesis. We demonstrated that TTF-1 plays a good role among them and donors can differentiate tracing normal lung morphogenesis. In contrast, cell implantation including the isolation of bronchioalveolar stem cells is on going project.
