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 ...

Cell line development is an essential step in the manufacture of biologics: drugs derived from living organisms, such as monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and vaccines. In addition to this, ...

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 ...
