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 ...

Bcl2-associated athanogene-1 protein (Bag1) acts as a co-chaperone of heat shock protein 70 and heat shock cognate 70 and regulates multiple cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis ...

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 ...
