Abstract
Communication between stromal and immune cells is essential to maintain tissue homeostasis, mount an effective immune response, and promote tissue repair. This ‘crosstalk’ occurs in both the steady state and following a variety of insults, for example, in response to local injury, at sites of infection, or cancer. What do we mean by crosstalk between cells? Reciprocal activation and/or regulation occurs between immune and stromal cells, by direct cell contact and indirect mechanisms, including the release of soluble cytokines. Moving beyond cell to cell contact, and this review investigates the complexity of ‘cross‐space’ cellular communication. We highlight different examples of cellular communication by a variety of lung stromal and immune cells following tissue insults. This review examines how the ‘geography of the lung microenvironment’ is altered in various disease states, more specifically we investigate how this influences lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts via their communication with immune cells and each other.
