Mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired DNA damage repair through PICT1 dysregulation in alveolar type II cells in emphysema
Abstract Background Alveolar type II (ATII) cells have a stem cell potential in the adult lung and repair the epithelium after injury induced by harmful factors. Their damage contributes to emphysema development, characterized by alveolar wall destruction. Cigarette smoke is the main risk factor for...
