Foxf1 is required for the specification and maintenance of pulmonary capillary identity

This study identifies Foxf1 as essential for maintaining pulmonary capillary identity in mice, with implications for human disease.

Morphogenic, molecular, and cellular adaptations for unidirectional airflow in the chicken lung

The paper identifies morphogenic, molecular, and cellular adaptations in the chicken lung that enable unidirectional airflow through developmental processes and a novel alveolar cell type.

Endothelial deletion of p53 generates transitional endothelial cells and improves lung development during neonatal hyperoxia

The paper shows that deleting p53 in endothelial cells during hyperoxia generates transitional endothelial cells, improving lung development and reversing vascular damage in BPD.

Neonatal hyperoxia induces sex-dependent pulmonary cellular and transcriptomic changes in an experimental mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

This study investigates sex-dependent molecular and cellular changes in mouse lungs exposed to hyperoxia, identifying distinct progenitor and reparative responses in males and females.

Epithelial Vegfa specifies a distinct endothelial population in the mouse lung

The paper shows that Vegfa from alveolar type 1 cells specifies a distinct endothelial population in the mouse lung, marked by Car4 and involved in alveologenesis.
