Enhancing the ability of the lungs to regenerate following injury could revolutionize the treatment of a wide range of different diseases. In this issue, Kumar et al. (2011) and Ding et al. (2011) dissect the cellular and molecular mechanisms of murine lung regeneration following injury and provide insights into the basic biology of the organ with implications for development of future therapeutic approaches.
增强肺部在受伤后的再生能力可能会彻底改变多种不同疾病的治疗方式。在本期杂志中，Kumar 等人（2011 年）和 Ding 等人（2011 年）剖析了小鼠肺部受伤后再生的细胞和分子机制，并深入探讨了器官的基本生物学特性，这对未来治疗方法的发展具有重要意义。
