Excited to share this work, now out in @NatureGenet . There is no cure for #COPD. To tackle this challenge, we performed nuclear sequencing, spatial transcriptomic, and proteomic analysis of lung tissue from 141 subjects to better understand this disease. nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Today our Human Lung Cell Atlas (HLCA) paper came out in Nature Medicine nature.com/articles/s41591-0…! The HLCA includes 2.4M cells from 486 individuals and 49 datasets. Check out this tweetorial to learn more about how we built it, and how you can use it (1/21)

Brilliant to see this come out. Especially congratulations to the co first authors @KyungtaeL @PengHeCam @sundakao
The developing human lung has been mapped in unprecedented detail, identifying 144 cell states in the early stages of life, and uncovering new links between developmental cells and lung cancer. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/researc…

Excited to share my first 1st-author pub from @Tatalab_Duke! A quick 🧵: Have you ever seen an epithelial cell with more than one apical domain? Here, we present evidence for multi-apical polarity of alveolar stem cells (AT2s) @iScience_CP bit.ly/3Lt4lIB (1/6)

New from the lab: @robertblassberg & co on how the levels of SOX2 influence where WNT signaling effectors bind to chromatin This determines the WNT response & explains how one signal elicits different responses in different cell types #OA nature.com/articles/s41556-0…
