Pulmonary alveolar type I cell population consists of two distinct subtypes that differ in cell fate. [PDF]
, 2018 Pulmonary alveolar type I (AT1) cells cover more than 95% of alveolar surface and are essential for the air-blood barrier function of lungs. AT1 cells have been shown to retain developmental plasticity during alveolar regeneration.

Outcomes after pneumonectomy versus limited lung resection in adults with traumatic lung injury. [PDF]
, 2020 Pneumonectomy after traumatic lung injury (TLI) is associated with shock, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and eventual right ventricular failure. Historically, trauma pneumonectomy (TP) mortality rates ranged between 53 and 100%.
