This study identifies ventral anterior foregut endoderm (vAFE) cells as effective progenitors for repairing airway epithelia in primary ciliary dyskinesia using EDTA conditioning.

This study uses human iPSC-derived bronchial organoids to show SARS-CoV-2 causes prolonged infection, cilia destruction, and differential innate immune responses in healthy and COPD models.

This study reveals how CCM2-silenced endothelial cells use mechanical forces to recruit and reprogram wild-type cells, driving vascular lesion growth through force-guided invasion and cellular reprogramming.

This study differentiates human dental pulp stem cells into spiral ganglion-like neurons using in vitro protocols, showing phenotypic and nanomechanical similarities to native neurons.
