This study aims to uncover the signals that govern the balance between effective lung repair and maladaptive fibrosis following respiratory viral infections, with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets to improve recovery and prevent long-term pulmonary fibrosis.
This study investigates chronic lung diseases using stem cell models. This research leverages induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived lung models from individuals with chronic lung diseases to explore disease mechanisms and immune responses during respiratory infections.
