Reprogramming lung epithelial cell lineages for regeneration
In chronic adult lung diseases both tissue homeostasis and repair are disrupted, regeneration mechanisms fail, and healthy cells are replaced with aberrant cells. My long-term vision is to overcome these problems in patients with early-stage lung disease by in vivo reprogramming of cell fate to induce regeneration and restore cellular homeostasis. To achieve this we will move beyond the current state-of-the-art for human lung cell culture and human lineage-tracing, employing new physiologically-mimetic culture methods optimised in my lab which allow the ecosystem of cell states present within a tissue to be interrogated together. Focusing on interstitial lung diseases, which are primarily…
