Alveolar myoblasts

Alveolar myoblasts are specialized muscle precursor cells found in the lungs' alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. They have the potential to develop into muscle tissue, aiding in the repair and maintenance of lung muscles. These cells play a role in lung health by helping the tissue regenerate after injury and may be involved in responses to lung diseases. Their regenerative ability makes them important for understanding lung repair mechanisms and developing treatments for respiratory conditions.
