Engrafted stem cell-derived lung organoids that model human lung development

IMAGE: Stem Cells and Development is dedicated to communication and objective analysis of developments in the biology, characteristics, and therapeutic utility of stem cells, especially those of the hematopoietic system. view New Rochelle, NY, September 10, 2018-Researchers have now grown lung organoids from human embryonic stem cells that, after implantation in mice, can develop mature alveolar type 1 and AT2 cells and architecture approximating that of human lungs.
