Multiple infectious diseases lead to impaired lung function. Revealing the cellular mechanisms involved in this impairment is crucial for the understanding of how the lungs shift from a physiologic to a pathologic state in each specific condition. In this context, we explored the pathogenesis of Paracoccidioidomycosis, which affects pulmonary functioning. The presence of cells expressing Nestin-GFP has been reported in different tissues, and their roles as tissue-specific progenitors have been stablished in particular organs...
