Overview
- Presents a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the organization of endogenous lung stem and progenitor cell compartments from fetal development, postnatal growth and in adulthood
- Scope is deliberately focused on taking a cellular perspective, rather than the molecular perspective covered elsewhere
- Excludes any discussion of lung cancer so topic is covered in depth and does not overlap within the literature
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (STEMCELL)

About the editor
Ivan Bertoncello, MSc, PhD is an Honorary Principle Research Fellow and Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics; and a member of the executive of the Lung Health Research Centre, at the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He has previously held appointments as Head of the Adult Lung Stem Cell Laboratory at the Australian Stem Cell Centre at Monash University; and Head of the Lung Regeneration Laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at the University of Melbourne. His international reputation in stem cell research was originally built on pioneering studies analysing the organisation and regulation of bone marrow stem and progenitor cells. His laboratory employed similar methods to analyse endogenous adult lung stem and progenitor cells in order to understand how regenerative cells in the adult lung are organised, and how they can be harnessed to treat lung disease or repair the injured lung.
