[1/20] Modeling disease directly in human tissue slice cultures transforms mechanistic studies as well as drug development and translation. A thread on our new work @biorxivpreprint.
Two amazing first authors: @niklasjlang@schniering_j @HelmholtzMunich
[2/20] Our previous work showed that Regenerative Intermediate Cell States (RICS) transiently appear after lung injury but persist in lung fibrosis patients:
In this work we induce such RICS in human precision cut lung slices (hPCLS).

[2/8] We have previously discovered an unexpected high prevalence of tissue resident MZB1+ plasma cells in lung and skin fibrosis. The number of these cells was associated with lung function decline and tissue IgG in IPF.
