Japanese researchers have generated lung cells directly from mouse tissue. These lung cells are called Alveolar Epithelial Type 2 (AT2 cells). A team led by Professor Makoto Ishii from Nagoya ...
The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...
ROCHESTER, Minnesota — Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a molecular "switch" in lung cells that helps them decide when to repair tissue and when to fight infection. This discovery could guide ...
