Single Cell Profiling of the Human Lung – Its Importance in Respiratory Diseases and SARS-CoV-2

Opinion on Professor Mark Krasnow’s Seminar The lung has millions of gas exchange sites known as alveoli which branch out and interweave with a dense capillary network. Professor Mark Krasnow’s work in profiling human lungs using single cell technology is paving a new path in understanding how our body responds to respiratory diseases and viruses. […]
