Ideas in this flowchart

  • AT2 cells maintain alveolar function and can contribute to airway repair
  • AT2 cells are the stem cells of the lung’s air sacs
  • They maintain alveolar structure and gas exchange
  • A study tracked AT2 cells to investigate their behavior
  • After airway injury, AT2 cells can initiate a repair response
  • They migrate between lung compartments
  • They can become bronchiolar cells
  • This transformation helps repair damaged airways

"Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells are the stem cells of the lung’s air sacs and are responsible for maintaining alveolar structure and gas exchange. A study that tracked AT2 cells shows that, after injury to the airway, they can also migrate between lung compartments and become bronchiolar cells to help repair damaged airways."
