Abstract
Specialised extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell niches within the adult lung are thought to be important for the maintenance and propagation of stem cell progenitor pools required for lung regeneration and repair. The meshwork of proteins that comprise the ECM not only provide structural support and rigidity, but also regulate cellular activities within the tissue microenvironment by virtue of the composition and stiffness of the ECM to which they are exposed. The ECM composition and structural assembly is altered in chronic lung disease impacting on the potential for stem cell regeneration and thereby possibly contributing to disease pathologies. The use of the ECM from decellularised tissue as a scaffold for regenerating a healthy lung for transplantation purposes is an exciting and challenging new frontier in ECM biology.
