Selective activation and proliferation of a quiescent stem cell population in the neuroepithelial body microenvironment

Abstract Background The microenvironment (ME) of neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) harbors densely innervated groups of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells that are covered by Clara-like cells (CLCs) and is believed to be important during development and for adult airway epithelial repair after severe injury...
