演讲主题: Allogeneic CAR-T Cell Therapy in Refractory Autoimmune Diseases

Abstract:

Allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells hold great promises for expanding the accessibility of CAR-T therapy, whereas risks of allograft rejection have hampered its application. Here we genetically engineered healthy donor-derived, CD19-targeting CAR-T cells using CRISPR-Cas9 to address the issue of immune rejection and treated autoimmune diseases with these cells. The infused cells persisted for over three months, achieving complete B cell depletion within 2 weeks of treatment. During the six-month follow-up, we observed deep remission without cytokine release syndrome or other serious adverse events in all cases, primarily shown by the significant improvement in the clinical response index scores for the three diseases we studied respectively and supported by the observations of reversal of inflammation and fibrosis. Our results demonstrate high safety and promising immune modulatory effect of the off-the-shelf CAR-T cells in treating severe refractory autoimmune diseases.

Abstract:

Our ongoing clinical trial (NCT 06010472) has completed the KN5501 CAR-NK treatment of 20 SLE patients. The 1st patient has reached to 12 months post infusion and the median follow-up duration of 20 patients treated is 6 months. The received data demonstrates the efficacy, safety and persistency of KN5501 CD19 CAR-NK cell therapy to relapsed and refractory SLE patients.

The data demonstrated：

1. The efficacy of KN5501 CD19 CAR-NK, specifically designed for autoimmunity, to SLE patient:

- the complete deletion of B cells and reset of B cell immune system with Naïve B cell reconstitution,

- overall improvements of clinical disease activity, including reduced dsDNA autoantibody, reduced urine protein excretion, hydrarthrosis

disappearance, normalization of autoantibodies and complements etc. and SLEDAI-2K decrease

- observed CR in LLDAS and DORIS assessments

2. No CRS, ICANS, infections or AEs were observed during the infusion/12-month follow-up, which demonstrated a supper safety

characteristic of KN5501 CAR-NK therapy in autoimmunity.

3. The patient of 'disease-free' post infusion for up to 12-month so far indicated a potential of KN5501 drug persistency.

As a breakthrough therapy, KN5501 CD19 CAR-NK cell therapy demonstrated a great potential that can help many patients suffering autoimmune diseases.

演讲主题: T Regulatory Cell Therapy in Inflammatory Diseases

Speaker Bio:

Dr. Zheng earned his MD from the Anhui Medical University, MS from Fudan University Shanghai Medical School in China and PhD from the University of Orleans in France. He completed his postdoctoral training at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California in United States. Two years later, he joined the Department of Medicine at the University of Southern California as an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor until 2013. He then was promoted as a full professor and director of Rheumatology Research Center at Penn State University Medical School. In 2018, he was appointed as a Ronald L. Whisler Chair and Professor of Medicine, and Chair of Rheumatology Research Center in the Department of Internal Medicine at the Ohio State University. He has returned to China to serve as a Chair Professor of Medicine and Dean at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 2023.

Song Guo Zheng’s scientific work includes a broad spectrum of clinical and immunological issues, particularly the therapy basics of immuno-inflammatory diseases. He initially discovered TGF-β induced Tregs in 2002. His research led to the understanding of Treg differentiation and broadened the immunotherapies to various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Additionally, Dr. Zheng has been also focusing on the instability and dysfunction Treg cells under inflammatory conditions, for which he discovered that all-trans retinoic acid maintains and enhances natural Treg function even under inflammatory condition. He has significantly contributed to understanding of molecular mechanisms thereby Treg cells result in the pathogenic conversion, eventually promoting immunotolerance in immune systems and immunotherapy for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Dr. Zheng’s work has been well funded by NIH multiple R01, R33, R43, R61, and P30, STAR, ACR, Wright Foundation, Arthritis Foundation in US, as well as China NSFC and National key research and development project from the Department of Science and Technology and others.

演讲主题: Advancing Towards the Future: Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy as an emerging Treatment for Crohn's Disease

Abstract:

Crohn's disease (CD) is a primary type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), predominantly affecting young adults, who face lifelong recurrence and an increased risk of cancer. Clinical manifestations include abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal masses, fever, weight loss, and in severe cases, intestinal stenosis, obstruction, intra-abdominal abscesses, fistulas, perianal lesions, as well as extraintestinal complications involving joints, skin, eyes, and oral mucosa (Figure 1), significantly impacting quality of life. In China, the incidence of CD is rapidly increasing, having doubled or tripled over the past 30 years, making it a common gastrointestinal disorder, with a similar rising trend observed globally. Current standard therapies for Crohn's disease (CD) include glucocorticoids, immunomodulators, and biologics. Glucocorticoids can effectively induce remission in CD, but approximately half of patients become steroid-dependent or require surgery. Monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 12/23, leukocyte adhesion molecules, as well as small molecules like Janus kinases (JAK) inhibitors and Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators represent significant milestones in CD treatment. Despite their superior efficacy over traditional therapies and improved prognosis, overall response rates remain only 32-45%.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become a focal point in research for various diseases due to their regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This pesentation will review existing animal experiment results demonstrating its ability to alleviate symptoms of CD colitis, analyze clinical studies showing its effectiveness in treating CD-associated fistulas, and further integrate our own research findings indicating its potential in treating refractory CD. It represents a third option for CD treatment beyond medication and surgery.

演讲主题: The Future of Human Genome Editing: A Regulatory Perspective (Online Presentation)

Abstract:

Genome editing offers tremendous promise for the treatment of disease. The US FDA understands that we need to re-evaluate and modernize our approach to the unique challenges of genome editing while also ensuring the resulting therapies are both safe and effective. The FDA is taking steps to facilitate more efficient genome editing product development. For example, the FDA will encourage the use of biomarkers as surrogate endpoints to help facilitate the accelerated approval of gene therapies for serious or life-threatening conditions, such as lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases affecting very small numbers of individuals. FDA is also running a pilot program to attempt to further accelerate the pace of development of therapeutics for very small populations with very high medical need. This pilot for rare pediatric genetic diseases will allow ongoing informal interactions during development of the product. Finally, while countries around the world have their own regulatory authorities, there are not uniform global quality safety standard for the evaluation and regulation of cell and gene therapy products. The FDA supports work toward global regulatory convergence and, ultimately, global harmonization of regulations for these products.

演讲主题: IM96 CAR-T Therapy: Breakthrough in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Abstract:

The options for third-line treatments and their outcomes for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are severely limited; currently, only drugs like regorafenib, fruquintinib, and trifluridine are available, with a clinical response rate of less than 5%. This is particularly true for colorectal cancer with liver metastasis, where these treatments prove largely ineffective.

Guanylyl cyclase 2C (GUCY2C) is highly expressed in over 80% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases and is restricted to the apical region of intestinal epithelial cells in normal tissue, making it an attractive therapeutic target. We have developed a CAR-T therapy targeting GUCY2C (IM96) and initiated a Phase I study to assess its safety and efficacy (NCT05287165).

This open-label, 3+3 dose escalation study enrolled mCRC patients positive for GCC who had progressed on at least three prior therapies. Enrolled patients first underwent lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, followed by a single infusion of IM96. The CAR-T cell doses were 3 × 10^8 cells (DL1), 6 × 10^8 cells (DL2), 12 × 10^8 cells (DL3), and 20 × 10^8 cells (DL4). The primary endpoints were safety and toxicity, while secondary endpoints included efficacy and pharmacokinetic characteristics.

As of March 2024, a total of 26 patients received IM96 treatment, including 14 with liver metastasis. All patients carried the pMMR/MSS genotype. 5 patients were treated at the third-line stage, and 21 received post-third-line therapy.

Across all treated patients, IM96 demonstrated good tolerability, achieving a response rate of 42.9% in the target dose cohort and 40% in those with liver metastases. Notably, the responses were durable.

演讲主题：FlexTune Platform: its Development and Application for Solid Tumor Treatment

Abstract:

The conventional CAR T therapy has produced stellar results for blood tumor treatments yet obtained limited success so far for solid tumor treatment. In addition, CAR T in its conventional form suffers drawbacks such as uncontrolled adverse effects, limited indications, high costs of development and manufacturing. At TriArm, we took an integrated approach to develop CAR T therapy for the treatment of diseases ranging from cancer, autoimmune diseases to infectious diseases.

We developed FlexTune platform which offers flexibility and functions similar to T cell engager and antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) in addition to programmable PD/PKs unique to live cellular therapies. In this presentation we will discuss the development of this technology and its application in solid tumor treatment using CD70 program as an example.

演讲主题：BCMA/CD19 Dual-targeting CAR T (KQ-2003) in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients with Extramedullary Diseases

Abstract:

KQ-2003 is a BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting CAR T-cell therapy product, manufactured by Novatim Immune Therapeutics (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. Utilizing the latest parallel CAR structure to enhance the cell activation and persistence, the dual CAR structure alleviates the antigen evasion of single target therapy. This Investigator-Initiated study (NCT04714827) in China aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of KQ-2003 CAR-T cells in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), particularly in those with extramedullary disease (EMD). As of the Jul. 25, 2024 clinical cutoff, 23 pts (52.2% male; median age 64 y (range 52-77) with RRMM received KQ-2003, 60.9% (14/23) of the pts had EMD at baseline, 35.7% (5/14) of EMD pts have no hematological measurable indicators, and the response was evaluated by PET-CT. Hematological overall response rate (ORR) was 100.0% (18/18), with a sCR/CR rate of 88.9% (16/18), VGPR rate of 11.1% (2/18). The PET ORR of EMD pts was 85.7% (12/14), 64.3% (9/14) and 50.0% (7/14) of EMD pts had > 50% and > 75% reduction in the size of soft tissue plasmacytomas. CRS and ICANS were observed in 21/23 (91.3%, grade 3/4 4.3%), and 5/23 (21.7%, grade 3/4 8.7%). KQ-2003 showed prompt, profound and durable response in RRMM with acceptable safety. More importantly, it exerted promising efficacy in pts with EMD, including the clinical intractable EM-E, which merits further clinical investigation. Furthermore, the phase 1/2a KQ-2003-CAR-T study in R/R MM (CTR20233309) and R/R POEMS (CTR20242409) is already ongoing in China.

演讲主题: Cell Therapy and National Stem Cell Translational Resource Center Construction

Abstract:

Cell therapy has become an important therapy besides drugs and surgery, and is becoming a hope to many refractory diseases, leading the revolution of medical methods. Stem cell therapy is one of the most attractive cell therapies, which utilizes the multiple differentiation potential of pluripotent stem cells and the paracrine function of stem cells and their differentiated cells, aiming to treat diseases such as degenerative diseases and organ terminal lesions, and has made increasing progress. However, due to the heterogeneity of stem cells, the comparability of research results on the same type of stem cells from different sources is relatively poor, which also leads to significant differences in the therapeutic effects of the same type of stem cells on the same disease. These seriously hinder the research and clinical application of stem cells. To this end, China has established the National Stem Cell Resource Center and the National Stem Cell Translational Resource Center, with the aim of researching and establishing unified stem cell standards and sources, expanding stem cell sharing, researching and promoting universal stem cell technologies, and improving the level of national stem cell research and application. Here, I will share with you the situation of stem cell therapy and the construction of the National Stem Cell Translational Resource Center.

演讲主题:Advanced Cell Therapy for Diabetes Using Optimized Human Islet Organoids Derived from Pluripotent Stem Cells

Abstract:

The deficiency of islet β cells is an important pathological factor in diabetes, and achieving the regeneration and protection of these cells is a crucial aspect of diabetes treatment. While clinical cases have demonstrated the potential of human pluripotent stem cell-derived pancreatic β-cells (SC-β cells), this novel cell therapy faces several challenges. Differentiated β-cells fail to respond effectively to blood glucose fluctuations and struggle to adapt to the pathological microenvironment characterized by hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in diabetic patients, leading to potential secondary defects. By combining genome editing and small molecule compound treatments, we developed an efficient in vitro differentiation system to generate more mature islet organoids with a structure similar to human primary islets. Furthermore, we have optimized these islet organoids to improve their adaptability to the pathological microenvironment in vivo. This new technology addresses the low survival rate of functional islet organoids after transplantation, achieving better therapeutic outcomes. Our research provides novel insights and therapeutic targets for diabetes treatment.

演讲主题: Advanced Therapies for Skeletal Diseases

Abstract:

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs or GPRs) are integral membrane proteins involved in the transmission of signals from the extracellular environment to the cytoplasm. A variety of external stimuli, including neurotransmitters, hormones, phospholipids and growth factors, can activate GPCRs. Therefore, GPCRs and their signal transduction pathways represent important specific targets for a variety of physiological functions and therapeutic approaches, ranging from the control of blood pressure, allergic response, kidney function, hormonal disorders, neurological diseases, to bone formation and remodeling. We did GPCRs screening on osteoclastogenesis, we found multiple GPCRs have key roles in osteoclast differentiation. We have reported that leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4, also called GPR48) is another receptor for RANKL.

演讲主题: Identification of Specific Markers for Human Stem Cell-derived Small Extracellular Vesicles

Abstract:

Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinical translational potential in multiple aging-related degenerative diseases. Characterizing the PSC-sEVs is crucial for their clinical applications. However, the specific marker pattern of PSC-sEVs remains unknown. This study aimed to identify the potential specific markers of iPSC-sEVs and ESCs-sEVs. Firstly, we performed proteomic analysis of iPSC-sEVs and ESC-sEVs and found that a group of pluripotency-related proteins were enriched in PSC-sEVs. Further Western Blot verification showed that several proteins including PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a and LIN28A were specifically expressed in PSC-sEVs but not non-PSC-sEVs. Next, to facilitate the characterization of PSC-sEVs at single particle resolution, we analysed the surface markers for PSC-sEVs using NanoFCM. PODXL, the only surface protein among the proteins validated above, together with three mostly used specific surface antigens on PSC (SSEA4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81) were selected for NanoFCM analysis. Among them, SSEA4 is a kind of glycolipid while Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81 are carbohydrate epitopes. By NanoFCM analysis, we showed that PODXL and SSEA4 were enriched in PSC-sEVs with high abundance and high positive rates, but not in non-PSC-sEVs. At last, we verified these results with density gradient ultracentrifugation to exclude the possible contaminated protein particles. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that PODXL, OCT4, Dnmt3a and LIN28A detected by Western Blot analysis and PODXL and SSEA4 detected by NanoFCM can be used for PSC-sEVs identification. These findings would be an important milestone for the clinical application of sEVs derived from pluripotent stem cells.

演讲主题: Clinical safety and efficacy of allogenic human adipose mesenchymal stromal cells-derived exosomes in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease: A phase I/II clinical trial

Abstract:

Background: There had been no effective treatments for slowing or reversing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) until now. Our team has established the potential of allogenic human adipose-derived MSCs Exosomes (ahaMSC-Exos) from healthy volunteers for the intranasal treatment of AD mice. After intranasal administration with a dose of 30 μg ahaMSC-Exos per mice, ahaMSC-Exos can be rapidly transported to various brain regions through the olfactory system involving olfactory sensory neurons. In APP/PS1 mice, ahaMSC-Exos displayed neuroprotective effects, increased neurogenesis, and enhanced spatial memory. The ahaMSC-Exos also appeared to decrease Ab deposition and inhibit microglial activation. Importantly, ahaMSC-Exos did not induce morphological alterations in key organs, indicating the safety of the intranasal administration.

Aims: The first 3 arms, drug-intervention, phase I/II clinical trial (Clinical Trial NCT04388982) was conducted to explore the safety and the efficacy of allogenic human adipose MSCs-Exo (ahaMSCs-Exos) in patients with mild to moderate AD.

Methods: The eligible subjects were assigned to 1 of 3 dosage groups, intranasally administrated with ahaMSCs-Exos twice a week for 12 weeks, and underwent follow-up visits at week 16, 24, 36, and 48.

Results: No adverse events were reported. In the medium-dose arm, ADAS-cog scores decreased by 2.33 (1.19) and MoCA-B scores increased by 2.38 (0.58) at week 12 compared to baseline levels, indicating improved cognitive function. Moreover, the ADAS-cog scores in the medium-dose arm decreased continuously by 3.98 points until week 36. There were no significant differences in altered amyloid or tau deposition among the 3 arms, but hippocampal volume shrank less in the medium-dose arm to some extent.

Conclusions: Intranasal administration of ahaMSCs-Exos was safe and well tolerated, and a dose of at least 4×108 particles could be selected for further clinical trials.

Bullet Points of Discussion: Recent advances of MSCs or exosomes in treatment of AD (administered by other modalities).

演讲主题: Development and Reflection on the Key Technologies of Drug Delivery Using Engineered Extracellular Vesicles

Abstract:

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a cluster of nano-sized vesicles of different sizes, cargo, and surface markers that are secreted into the extracellular environment through a variety of mechanisms. Due to their ability to mediate the delivery of biomolecules, as well as the regulation of the phenotype of recipient cells, EVs are considered as a novel non-viral drug carrier and received a widespread attention. In this presentation, we first provide a brief overview of the development history of EVs’ base therapy. Next, we introduce the advantages and the key technical challenges of EVs as drug delivery system. And finally, based on our own research findings, we discuss the development process and downstream application of EVs engineering technology.

- Technical challenges of EVs as drug delivery system

- Development of EVs engineering platform (Echosome®)

- Massive production of engineered membrane vesicles through cell dehydration

- Future prospective

演讲主题 : Primate Embryonic Development, Stem Cells, and Embory Model Construction

Abstract:

The gold standard for demonstrating naive pluripotency in mammalian pluripotent stem cells is the generation of chimeric animals through early embryo complementation with homologous cells. While several human naive ES in vitro culture systems have been reported, ethical and resource constraints prevent the verification of in vivo developmental totipotency in these systems. Non-human primates share reproductive and embryonic developmental characteristics more akin to humans, making them ideal models for studying human reproductive and embryonic development. Therefore, we systematically tested various culture conditions to establish naive embryonic stem cells from monkeys and optimized procedures for chimeric embryo culture. This approach resulted in the generation of both an aborted fetus and a live chimeric monkey with a high donor cell contribution. A rigorous characterization pipeline demonstrated that donor cells efficiently incorporated into various tissues, including the gonads and placenta, of the chimeric monkeys, achieving up to 90% efficiency. Additionally, we constructed cynomolgus monkey blastoids using naive monkey ESCs resembling blastocysts in morphology and transcriptomics and further confirmed their developmental potential of developing into gastrula-like structures by in vitro culture and triggering pregnancies with gestation sacs by in vivo transplantation. Such functional experiments are unfeasible with human stem cell-derived blastoids due to ethical constraints and resource limitations. Our research have major implications for studying primate ES naive pluripotency and genetic engineering and provide an important model for studying primate embryonic development in vitro, holding significant potential for investigating diseases related to abnormal embryonic development and for advancing stem cell therapy.

演讲主题: Therapeutic Application of Human 3D Brain Organoids: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract:

Brain organoids are 3D tissue cultures that resemble cell type diversity, tissue architecture and developmental trajectory of the native human brain tissues. Rapid advances in the stem cell technologies have led to human pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoids that mimic the development and properties of different regions of the developing human brain. In parallel, brain organoids have been generated from patient surgical tissues, such as glioblastoma, that can maintain inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity as well as the tumor microenvironment. I will review recent development of brain organoid technologies and provide examples for therapeutic applications of these human stem cell-derived brain organoids, such as applications during the past two global pandemics (Zika virus and SARS-Cov2). I will also discuss technologies of tumor organoids and their applications in the personized medicine. Finally, I will discuss challenges ahead.

演讲主题: The Role of Transcription Factor BACH1 in Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality globally. The transcription factor BTB and CNC homology1 (BACH1) has been linked to coronary artery disease risk by human genome-wide association studies. However, the role of BACH1 in CVD remains unclear. Our preceding studies have shed light on its multifaceted roles in cardiovascular pathologies. Notably, our findings indicate that BACH1 acts as a mechano-sensor in endothelial cells (ECs), where it is implicated in the dysfunction of ECs and the subsequent progression of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, BACH1 is an essential regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype switching and neointima formation after artery injury in adult mice. Moreover, in the cardiomyocytes, BACH1's regulation of AT1R expression and the Ca2+/CaMKII signaling pathway positions it as a key factor in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. Expanding on its role in CVD, our studies have also demonstrated that the endothelial specifical BACH1 deficiency attenuated hypertension, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for blood pressure regulation. Additionally, our findings indicated that BACH1 is involved in pulmonary arterial hypertension, further highlighting its negative regulatory impact on vascular remodeling and disease progression. Moreover, beyond its role in CVD, BACH1 is also associated with metabolic disorders. Our present results revealed that hepatic BACH1 deletion improves hyperglycemia and enhance insulin sensitivity in diabetic male mice, underscoring its critical role in modulating insulin signaling and maintaining glucose homeostasis. Given the crucial role of BACH1 in pathological processes, we employed a virtual screening strategy to identify the specific inhibitor of BACH1. After cellular and disease-level validation, we have identified BI033 as a novel BACH1 inhibitor, which shows promise for treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Collectively, our findings present BACH1 as a promising therapeutic target in both cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

Keywords: BACH1, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, inhibitor

演讲主题: Fast Organoid Culture and Efficient Drug Response with Self Immune Microenvironment and Blood Vessels from Patients

快速培养自带免疫微环境和血管的患者类器官与高效类器官药物响应机理探索

Abstract:

This report will introduce the established tumor organoid systems with unique simplicity and self-contained immune microenvironment, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, glioma and skin cancer organoids. The aim is to provide a new research platform for exploring individual precision treatment strategies and drug response mechanisms for cancer patients. By utilizing single-cell sequencing technology, we will analyze the consistency between these tumor organoids and patient tissues. Meanwhile, drug sensitivity screenings will be conducted on tumor organoids to reveal the individual differences in drug response among cancer patients. Furthermore, we will further investigate the correlation between individual differences in tumor tissues and tumor organoids at the single-cell level and drug sensitivity, providing insights for personalized treatment and drug development.

演讲主题：CasRx-based Wnt Activation Promotes Alveolar Regeneration while Ameliorating Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abstract:

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is an attractive target for regenerative medicine. A powerful driver of stem cell activity and hencetissue regeneration, Wnt signaling can promote fibroblast proliferation and activation, leading to fibrosis, while prolongedWnt signaling is potentially carcinogenic. Thus, to harness its therapeutic potential, the activation of Wnt signaling mustbe transient, reversible and tissue-specific. In the lung, Wnt signaling is essential for alveolar stem cell activity andalveolar regeneration, which is impaired in lung fibrosis. Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in lung epithelium mayhave anti-fibrotic effects. Here, we used intratracheal AAV injection to selectively deliver CasRx into lung epithelium,where it reversibly activates Wnt signaling by simultaneously degrading mRNAs encoding negative regulators of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Interestingly, CasRx mediated Wnt activation specifically in lung epithelium not only promotes alveolartype II cell (AT2) proliferation and alveolar regeneration, but also inhibits lung fibrosis resulted from bleomycin-inducedinjury, relevant in both preventive and therapeutic settings. Our study offers an attractive strategy for treating pulmonaryfibrosis, with general implications for regenerative medicine.
