RUNX2-regulated LEPR+ fibroblasts significantly contribute to pathological fibroblasts in fibrosis
Feb. 21, 2025
Researchers from Columbia University Irving Medical Center and collaborators applied unbiased scRNA-seq to study Lepr expression in lung mesenchymal cells. To do that, they used a Lepr(creERT2) mouse model tracing LEPR+ alveolar fibroblasts during neonatal alveologenesis.
