    Research Overview

  • Dr. De Langhe's research focuses on lung development, lung regeneration and lung stem cells. He is especially interested in how Wnt and FGF signaling pathways between stem cells and their niche control the differentiation, proliferation and maintenance of several mesenchymally and epithelial cell lineages.
