Japanese researchers have generated lung cells directly from mouse tissue. These lung cells are called Alveolar Epithelial Type 2 (AT2 cells). A team led by Professor Makoto Ishii from Nagoya ...

The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like cells ...

In reading, a bookmark tells where you stopped. Cells use bookmarks too, specific proteins that help the cell remember what collection of genes needs to be turned on again after the brief halt of gene ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

Zhou’s study, "TBX20 improves contractility and mitochondrial function during direct human cardiac reprogramming," was recently published in Circulation. The most common cause of death worldwide is ...
