Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) have emerged as a innovative ex vivo model that allows researchers to explore deep into lung physiology, disease mechanisms, and pharmacological responses. By offering a unique combination of biological complexity and controlled experimental conditions, PCLS serve as a critical bridge between the limitations of traditional in vitro cell cultures and the ...
Pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), represents a significant challenge in healthcare due to its detrimental impact on lung function and limited treatment options. While WNT/β-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in lung development and maintenance of adult lung stem cells, ...
The research goals of Carole Ober’s laboratory at the University of Chicago are to identify genetic variants that influence gene expression and epigenetic patterns in tissues relevant to complex phenotypes, especially related to asthma and fertility. The lab uses both freshly isolated cells, as well as tissue and cell culture models of gene-environment interactions to explore ...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and fatal lung disease. ...
