Abstract
The non-ciliated bronchiolar cell, also referred to as "club cell", serves as a significant multifunctional component of the airway epithelium. While the club cell is a prominent epithelial type found in rodents, it is restricted to the bronchioles in humans. Despite these differences, the club cell's importance remains undisputed in both species due to its multifunctionality as a regulatory cell in lung inflammation and a stem cell in lung epithelial regeneration. The objective of this review is to examine different aspects of club cell morphology and physiology in the lung epithelium, under both normal and pathological conditions, to provide a comprehensive understanding of its importance in the respiratory system.
期刊介绍:
HISTOLOGY AND HISTOPATHOLOGY is a peer-reviewed international journal, the purpose of which is to publish original and review articles in all fields of the microscopical morphology, cell biology and tissue engineering; high quality is the overall consideration. Its format is the standard international size of 21 x 27.7 cm. One volume is published every year (more than 1,300 pages, approximately 90 original works and 40 reviews). Each volume consists of 12 numbers published monthly online. The printed version of the journal includes 4 books every year; each of them compiles 3 numbers previously published online.
