ABSTRACT
The mechanical barrier of lung is made up of epithelial cells which participate in gas exchange. Some of these cells have stem cell potential and are known as lung epithelial stem cells. They play an important role in maintaining lung homeostasis and repairing injured epithelial cells. Organoids are derived from pluripotent stem cells or adult stem cells cultured in a three-dimensional manner in vitro. Their structure and function are very similar to original tissues or organs. They can also self-renew, proliferate, and differentiate. Lung organoids can simulate the structure and function of epithelial cells in vitro. They provide an ideal model for the study of lung epithelial stem cells, which repair epithelial cells in vitro. Meanwhile, they provide an ideal graft for regenerative medicine. Around the lung organoids, this review concludes the mechanisms involved in lung epithelial stem cells repairing epithelial cells, summarizes their applications in regenerative medicine, and provides related reference for the therapy of lung diseases.
