Annotation rationales
Tracheal subepithelial fibroblasts are airway stromal cells situated immediately beneath the respiratory epithelium.
Functional implications
They maintain airway matrix, support epithelial stem and secretory cells and coordinate repair and inflammatory remodeling after airway injury.
