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 ...

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 ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...
