Role of pulmonary stem cells labeled with bromodeoxyuridine and telomerase reverse transcriptase in hyperoxic lung injury in neonatal rats

OBJECTIVE: To investigate characteristics of pulmonary stem cells labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) in lung tissue, as well as the effects of proliferation and differentiation of the stem cells on lung development and repair of pulmonary injury
