Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions relating, in part, to the generation of human progenitor cells committed to the lung lineage and uses of such cells for treatment of lung diseases/disorders or injury to the lung. Whether an adult stem cell can be isolated from human adult lung remains controversial in the art and at present, methods for isolating and using adult lung stem cells from humans lack reproducibility. Thus, the methods and compositions described herein are advantageous over the present state of knowledge in the art and permit the generation of human lung progenitor cells for treatment, tissue engineering, and screening assays.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for identifying ionocytes from respiratory epithelial cells, and uses of such cells for treatment of inflammatory lung disease. Also provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating respiratory tract epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, maintenance, and/or function.

Abstract: An atlas of intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal epithelial stem cells and intestinal immune cells identifies new cell populations, markers, networks, and responses to stimuli. Intestinal epithelial cell sub-types are also found in the trachea. Accordingly, disclosed are methods of modulating epithelial cell differentiation, maintenance and/or function, related methods for the treatment of disease, including IBD and asthma. Also disclosed are methods and kits for identifying cell types, their differentiation, homeostasis and activation.
