Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing lineage hierarchies of the distal lung epithelium using single cell RNA-seq

TL;DR: The results confirmed the basic outlines of the classical model of epithelial cell-type diversity in the distal lung and led to the discovery of many previously unknown cell- type markers, including transcriptional regulators that discriminate between the different populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar progenitor and stem cells in lung development, renewal and cancer

TL;DR: There is a switch after birth, when AT2 cells function as stem cells that contribute to alveolar renewal, repair and cancer, and it is proposed that local signals regulate AT2 stem-cell activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lineage-negative progenitors mobilize to regenerate lung epithelium after major injury

TL;DR: It is indicated that distinct stem/progenitor cell pools repopulate injured tissue depending on the extent of the injury, and the outcomes of regeneration or fibrosis may depend in part on the dynamics of LNEP Notch signalling.

Single-cell Wnt signaling niches maintain stemness of alveolar type 2 cells

TL;DR: It is shown that the rare AT2 lung stem cells have a special niche next to a fibroblast secreting Wnts, and many of them are near single, Wnt-expressing fibroblasts, which maintains the gas exchange surface and is coopted in cancer.
