This study identifies GM-CSF as a factor that promotes lung repair by targeting stem cell niches after viral injury, enhancing epithelial cell proliferation and barrier repair.

This study identifies TNFSF14 as a driver of alveolar macrophage depletion after influenza, increasing susceptibility to pneumococcal pneumonia, and shows targeting this pathway can reduce disease severity.

This study traces Acta2+ cells in aged mice during lung fibrosis to show lipofibroblasts can reversibly switch to myofibroblasts, with similar patterns observed in humans.

This study shows Fgfr2b signaling is essential for maintaining AT2 cells in adult mouse lungs, with IAAPs acting as potential progenitors.

The paper describes the development and validation of a new Fgf10CreERT2 mouse line (Fgf10Ki-v2) that effectively targets Fgf10-positive cells in adult lungs, overcoming limitations of an earlier version.

This study identifies miR-142's role in regulating alveolar epithelial cell lineage formation through interactions with the glucocorticoid and p300 signaling pathways.

This study identifies a repair-supportive mesenchymal cell population critical for lung epithelial regeneration through single-cell RNA sequencing and lineage tracing.
