    Human Airway Basal Cells Undergo Reversible Squamous Differentiation and Reshape Innate Immunity

    Investigators raised the possibility that the squamous differentiation naturally occurring in healthy airways identified herein may represent “vulnerable spots” within the airway mucosa that were sensitive to damage and inflammation when confronted by infection or injury.

    Plant miRNA Osa-miR172d-5p Suppressed Lung Fibrosis by Targeting Tab1

    Researchers identified osa-miR172d-5p, a plant-derived microRNA (miR), as a potent anti-fibrotic miR. In silico analysis followed by an in vitro assay based on human lung fibroblasts demonstrated that osa-miR172d-5p suppressed the gene expression of TGF-β activated kinase 1 binding protein 1 (Tab1).
