    YAP is essential for mechanical force production and epithelial cell proliferation during lung branching morphogenesis

    Chuwen Lin, Erica Yao ... Pao-Tien Chuang
    The control of local cell properties such as epithelial cell number and mechanical force production by Hippo signaling is a major determinant of lung branching.

    Evolution of the hypoxia-sensitive cells involved in amniote respiratory reflexes

    Dorit Hockman, Alan J Burns ... Clare V H Baker
    Embryonic fate-mapping approaches in zebrafish, Xenopus and lamprey illuminate the evolutionary origins of carotid body glomus cells and pulmonary neuroendocrine cells.

    Self-inhibiting percolation and viral spreading in epithelial tissue

    Xiaochan Xu, Bjarke Frost Nielsen, Kim Sneppen
    A gene expression data-informed model reveals that a small fraction of interferon-producing cells can effectively constrain early virus spread in epithelial tissue, elucidating connections between critical dynamics and infection heterogeneity.

    Respiratory syncytial virus co-opts host mitochondrial function to favour infectious virus production

    MengJie Hu, Keith E Schulze ... David A Jans
    RSV's unique ability to co-opt host cell mitochondria to facilitate viral infection reveals the RSV-mitochondrial interface as a viable target for therapeutic intervention.

    IFN-λ prevents influenza virus spread from the upper airways to the lungs and limits virus transmission

    Jonas Klinkhammer, Daniel Schnepf ... Peter Staeheli
    Interferon-λ plays a decisive and previously underestimated role in limiting the spread of respiratory viruses from the nasal cavity to the lungs and it efficiently restricts virus transmission from infected individuals to naïve contacts.

    Human embryonic lung epithelial tips are multipotent progenitors that can be expanded in vitro as long-term self-renewing organoids

    Marko Z Nikolić, Oriol Caritg ... Emma L Rawlins
    Improved characterisation of human embryonic lung development highlights human-mouse differences and facilitates the development of defined culture conditions for the expansion of self-renewing, multipotent human lung epithelial progenitor cells.

    KChIP3 coupled to Ca2+ oscillations exerts a tonic brake on baseline mucin release in the colon

    Gerard Cantero-Recasens, Cristian M Butnaru ... Vivek Malhotra
    KChIP3 localisation by intracellular calcium oscillations controls mucin release from colonic goblet cells.

    SARS-CoV-2 entry into human airway organoids is serine protease-mediated and facilitated by the multibasic cleavage site

    Anna Z Mykytyn, Tim I Breugem ... Bart L Haagmans
    Whereas SARS-CoV-2 utilizes cathepsins to enter most cell lines, human airway organoids revealed that entry into relevant cells is dependent on serine proteases, which can be targeted for treatment.

    Differentiation of mouse fetal lung alveolar progenitors in serum-free organotypic cultures

    Konstantinos Gkatzis, Paolo Panza ... Didier YR Stainier
    A serum-free organotypic culture model of mouse lung epithelial progenitors was developed and used to screen WNT modulators for regulators of epithelial differentiation.

    Cryo-EM structures and functional characterization of murine Slc26a9 reveal mechanism of uncoupled chloride transport

    Justin D Walter, Marta Sawicka, Raimund Dutzler
    The cryo-EM structure and functional characterization of the chloride-selective ion transporter Slc26a9 defines its oligomeric architecture and transport mechanism.
