The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to create a molecular map of newborn human lung cells and identifies cell type-specific developmental states and biomarkers.

This study uses WI-38 cells to investigate the reversible switch between myofibroblast and lipofibroblast phenotypes in lung fibrosis, showing similar transcriptomic responses to treatments and supporting the LIF-MYF switch.

This study creates a single-cell atlas of prenatal Trisomy 21 lungs, revealing molecular changes linked to early pulmonary complications.

This study shows Fgfr2b signaling is essential for maintaining AT2 cells in adult mouse lungs, with IAAPs acting as potential progenitors.
