ERS monograph on Lung Stem Cells in Development, Health and Disease

The ERS has published a new monograph focused on lung stem cells.

This monograph from the European Respiratory Society (ERS) focuses on one of the most exciting areas of respiratory science- stem cells. The book covers the latest research and understanding about mouse and human lung stem cells and how they can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.

A variety of experts in the field discuss how stem cells can be generated or stimulated from endogenous lung tissue. The book also contains several chapters on modelling lung and stem cell functions including a chapter on our own favourite model- precision-cut lung slices.

Congratulations Dr Róisín Mongey!

31st March 2021 – Massive congratulations to Róisín on a very successful PhD!

Róisín defended her thesis entitled ‘Investigating the role of vitamin A and retinoic acid signalling in lung homeostasis and repair’ and passed her viva without corrections! This coincided with the UK lockdown restriction easing and we were able to share a toast in a socially distanced manner on the beautiful Queen’s lawn.
