Lung Progenitor Cells Enable Culture of 3D Organoids for Studies

An in vitro system for growth of three-dimensional lung organoids was used to characterize a line of alveolar stem cells that plays a critical role in repairing lung tissues damaged by severe influenza or other respiratory ailments such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). More...

Image: Left: Genetic differences are easily seen across individuals of different ancestries. Each point represents a person colored by his ancestry, and the graph is a reduction of the complex genetics vector of each person into two dimensions. Right: No differences are seen in the microbiome of individuals of different ancestries. Same as left, but the plot is of the microbiome reduced to two dimensions. Coloring is by ancestries and no separation can be seen (Photo courtesy of the Weizmann Institute of Science).

Environmental Influences Important in Determining Microbiome Composition

The contribution of an individual's genetic heritage is much less important than environmental factors in determining the makeup of his or her personal microbiome. More...
