A multipotent mouse distal airway secretory cell population that contributes to both airway and alveolar regeneration

This study identifies a multipotent secretory cell population in mouse distal airways that contributes to both airway and alveolar regeneration after injury.

Alveolar epithelium propagates mechanical signals that control multi-cellular homeostasis in the lung

This study shows that alveolar epithelial type I cells propagate mechanical signals that affect lung homeostasis and disease states through intercellular communication.

An injury-induced tissue niche shaped by mesenchymal plasticity coordinates the regenerative and disease response in the lung

The paper identifies an injury-induced tissue niche (iTCH) in the lung that coordinates regenerative and disease responses through mesenchymal plasticity and signaling pathways.
