After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs.

Approximately 95% of the alveolar surface is covered by alveolar type I cells, with the remainder made up of type II cells. Type II cells and their role in surfactant secretion have been studied ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute have succeeded in generating the lung's most important immune cell, the alveolar macrophage, in the lab. The cell culture model will make it much ...

A new research paper titled "Modulating in vitro lung fibroblast activation via senolysis of senescent human alveolar epithelial cells" has been published in Aging. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ...

and single-cell RNA sequencing. "Our findings provide a novel and crucial mechanism for alveolar repair by these atypical macrophages," explains Coraline Radermecker. "We have detailed their ...

Ikoma, Japan – The human immune system is a highly complex network of cells, signals, and responses that is tightly regulated to ensure that the body can fight off infection without damaging its ...

Among the key findings of this multidisciplinary effort was the discovery and validation of a transitional alveolar cell state that harbors KRAS mutations, even in normal lung cells, and ...
