Stable iPSC-derived NKX2-1+ lung bud tip progenitor organoids give rise to airway and alveolar cell types

RFC Hein, AS Conchola, AS Fine, Z Xiao… - …, 2022 - journals.biologists.com
Bud tip progenitors (BTPs) in the developing lung give rise to all epithelial cell types found in
the airways and alveoli. This work aimed to develop an iPSC organoid model enriched with …

[PDF][PDF] R-SPONDIN2+ mesenchymal cells form the bud tip progenitor niche during human lung development

…, JH Wu, EM Holloway, T Frum, AS Conchola… - Developmental cell, 2022 - cell.com
The human respiratory epithelium is derived from a progenitor cell in the distal buds of the
developing lung. These "bud tip progenitors" are regulated by reciprocal signaling with …

Understanding human lung development through in vitro model systems

RF Conway, T Frum, AS Conchola, JR Spence - BioEssays, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
An abundance of information about lung development in animal models exists; however,
