This study identifies an autocrine role for Hedgehog signaling in regulating epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation in the trachea.

The paper creates a comprehensive topographic atlas of early human lung development, identifying cell states, trajectories, and interactions to understand cell heterogeneity origins.

SCRINSHOT maps cell states in tissue sections at single-cell resolution, showing high correlation with scRNA-Seq data and enabling detailed spatial analysis of cell types.
