Common Lung Diseases • Respiratory Distress (RDS) • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) • Congenital Diaphragma\c Hernia (CDH) • Asthma • Pulmonary hypertension • Lung Cancer • Emphysema • COPD
Common Lung Diseases • Respiratory Distress (RDS) • Chronic lung diseases of early infancy (BPD) • Congenital Diaphragma\c Hernia (CDH) • Asthma • Pulmonary hypertension • Lung Cancer • Emphysema • COPD • Why study lung development? • If we understand how to make a lung, we can figure out how to repair it.
Each of the germ layers gives rise to many different cell types

Major Stages of the Developing Lung
I. Embryonic II. Pseudoglandular
III. Canalicular
V. Alveolar
IV. Saccular

Nkx2.1-‐ Lung epithelium
FGF signaling is an essen\al component of the regulatory networks between epithelium and mesenchyme in the developing lung
• Dele\on of FGF10 results in lung agenesis, as does dele\on of its receptor FGFR2b.

Why study lung stem cells and lung regenera\on?
• Currently no effec\ve treatments – Respiratory distress syndrome – Chronic obstruc\ve pulmonary disease – Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
• Pathways that are ac\vated during development may be ac\vated during adult lung repair
• Model human disease • New or improved clinical therapies
