Researchers led by Prof. Urs Jenal at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have now gained novel insights into the infection process using lab-grown lung microtissues generated from human stem cells.

"As embryogenesis progresses, this protein needs to be silenced, which tells us that it is key to maintaining lung stem cells," the researcher adds. The study has also described the interaction ...

regenerative medicine is making strides in developing lungs from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), using interspecies animal models. Through a biological technique known as blastocyst complementation ...

Two nationally recognized experts in cloning and stem cell science from the University of Houston, Wa Xian and Frank McKeon, are reporting that five lung stem cell variants dominate the lungs of ...

At the oncological level, IGFBP3 could also have a relevant role in lung cancer, especially in relation to cancer stem cells. "We have observed that elevated levels of IGFBP3 in lung tumour tissue ...

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is funding the development of a gene editing therapy that is designed to use ReCode’s tissue-specific delivery vehicle to transport gene editing cargo to the lung cells ...

An approach considering stem cell-based therapy of CF-injured lungs should achieve a permanent correction of the CF genetic defect. Lung injury is needed for engraftment of stem cells into the lung.

Researchers have used heart and lung stem cells infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 to better understand how the disease impacts different organs, paving the way for more targeted treatments.
