Editing Club cell (section)

=== Name change ===
Club cells were previously called ''Clara cells'', as they were first described by [[Max Clara]] (1899–1966), in 1937. Clara was an active member of the [[Nazi Party]] and used tissue taken from executed victims of [[Nazi Germany]] for his research—including the work that led to his discovery of Clara cells.<ref>

In May 2012, the editorial boards of most of the major respiratory journals (including the journals of the [[American Thoracic Society]], the [[European Respiratory Society]] and the [[American College of Chest Physicians]]) concluded that the continued use of Clara's [[eponym]] would be equivalent to honoring him; they therefore introduced a name-change policy, which went into effect beginning January 1, 2013.<ref>

The term "Clara" was used parenthetically after "club cell" for a 2-year period, after which "Clara cell" and "Clara cell secretory protein" were conclusively replaced with "club cell" and "club cell secretory protein", respectively.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Akram|first=KM|author2=Lomas NJ|author3=Spiteri MA|author4=Forsyth NR|title=Club cells inhibit alveolar epithelial wound repair via TRAIL-dependent apoptosis|journal=Eur Respir J|year=2013|volume=41|issue=3|pages=683–694|doi=10.1183/09031936.00213411|pmid=22790912|doi-access=free}}</ref>
