Abstract excerpt
Alveolar regeneration requires coordinated alveolar type 1 (AT1)/alveolar type 2 (AT2) responses and an intact epithelial barrier. In vitro systems, however, rarely couple lineage control with high resistance. Here we establish a concise workflow in which human AT2-like progenitors are expanded in a medium containing a small-molecule cocktail (Y-27632/A-83-01/CHIR99021; YAC), followed by air-liquid interface...
