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).
