To understand which cell types had undergone long-lasting editing, they isolated lung cells and ran flow cytometry. They identified a variety of cell types, including epithelial cells, immune cells, ...

"As embryogenesis progresses, this protein needs to be silenced, which tells us that it is key to maintaining lung stem cells ...

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.

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.

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease. We ...

Grown in a dish from human stem cells, lung organoids are multicellular, three-dimensional structures that aim to recreate key features of human tissues such as cellular complexity and architecture.

receives an infusion of human adult stem cells to test their safety. Doctors believe the cells may have the potential to tamp down inflammation of the lungs caused by cystic fibrosis. Hillard ...

They then identified which tissues the stem cells came from. Stem cells from the lungs, kidneys and intestine were successfully extracted, and used to grow organoids that had functional features ...
