A single-cell atlas of in vitro multiculture systems uncovers the in vivo lineage trajectory and cell state in the human lung

Abstract excerpt

We present an in-depth single-cell atlas of in vitro multiculture systems on human primary airway epithelium derived from normal and diseased lungs of 27 individual donors. Our large-scale single-cell profiling identified new cell states and differentiation trajectories of rare airway epithelial cell types in human distal lungs. By integrating single-cell datasets of human lung tissues, we discovered...
