In a recent study published in Nature, a team of researchers investigated the impact of aging on the tumor-initiating potential of alveolar type 2 (AT2) stem cells in the lungs. Using genetically ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have uncovered a key molecular player that is involved in lung repair and in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a common ...

ROCHESTER, Minnesota — Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a molecular "switch" in lung cells that helps them decide when to repair tissue and when to fight infection. This discovery could guide ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a deadly disease in which the lungs become thickened and scarred, gradually losing their ability to deliver oxygen to the body. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco have ...
