Abstract

Over recent years, many studies of stem cell behavior in different organs have accumulated evidences on the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that regulate key aspects of stem/progenitor cell behavior such as self-renewal, differentiation, and apoptosis. These molecular mechanisms include Wnt, TGF beta, and Notch signaling pathways that are well investigated in hematopoietic stem cells. In this chapter, we will discuss the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell niche and both the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that control their behavior since this will improve our understanding of the role of these mechanisms and signals in the behavior of lung stem/progenitor cells that is still not well studied compared to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
