DLL4 Restores Damaged Liver by Enhancing hBMSC Differentiation into Cholangiocytes

Scientists aimed to determine whether human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into biliary epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo and to clarify the role of delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4) in restoring damaged liver by enhancing cholangiocyte differentiation.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals that Lung Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells in IPF Exhibit Pathological Features Early in Their Differentiation Trajectory

Using transcriptional entropy as a metric for differentiated state, we found that the least differentiated Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) displayed the largest differences in their transcriptional profile compared to control MPCs.
