Scientists have found ways of culturing organ-specific tissue from stem cells that could change the way diseases are studied and treated. By Javier Barbuzano Imagine the possibility of creating individualized, complex collections of cells that bear a...

By Nancy Fleisler ( Boston Children's Hospital) and Javier Barbuzano (Harvard Stem Cell Institute) To stay healthy, our lungs have to maintain two key populations of cells: the alveolar epithelial cells, which make up the little sacs where gas exchange...

Harvard stem cell researchers have shown that it may one day be possible to treat several lung diseases by introducing proteins that direct lung stem cells to grow the specific cell types needed to repair the lung injuries involved in the conditions...
