Deskripsi
The cellular origins of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare fatal lung disease, are poorly understood. Here the authors identify a mesenchymal cell hub coordinating the LAM phenotype and develop a LAM mouse model where they investigate the co-operative dysregulation of mTORC1 and WNT growth pathways in the sex- and age-specific changes leading to structural and functional decline.
