The chromatin remodeling complex PRC2 safeguards cell fate in alveolar epithelial type 2 cells

Helen I. Warheit-Niemi, Jessie Huang, Kathleen C.S. Cook, Konstantinos–Dionysios Alysandratos, Sharlene Fernandes, Payel Basak, Barbara Zhao, Eitan Vilker, Carlos Villacorta-Martín, Amber Elitz, Pushpinder Bawa, Andrea Tóth, Michael J. Herriges, Darrell N. Kotton, William J. Zacharias

This study shows that PRC2 maintains AT2 cell fate in the adult lung by preventing transitions to ABI and basal-like states, both in vitro and in vivo.

Bidirectional fibrogenic cross-talk revealed in a human iPSC-derived epithelial-mesenchymal co-culture model of pulmonary fibrosis

Andrea Brigitta Alber, George Kwong, Vishal K Gupta, Porter E. Dooley, Jill Patel, Pushpinder Bawa, Kasey Minakin, Dakota L. Jones, Diya Gopal, Huan Souza, Maria Yampolskaya, Eitan Vilker, Chandani Sen, Ansley S. Conchola, Pankaj Mehta, , Darrell N. Kotton

The paper establishes a human iPSC-derived co-culture model of pulmonary fibrosis that reveals bidirectional fibrogenic epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk and identifies potential druggable pathways.
