Beyond the epithelium: multicellular niches in lung regeneration and disease.
Review in American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pulmonary homeostasis and regeneration require coordination between epithelial cells, immune populations, vascular networks, extracellular matrix, and stromal cells. This mini review examines recent advances in lung niche biology that were a focus of the 2025 Stem Cells, Cell Therapies, and Bioengineering in Lung Biology and Diseases Conference. Here, we emphasize the impact of nonepithelial compartments essential for tissue function and repair. Reflecting the conference's emphasis on comprehensive niche biology, we highlight how nonepithelial compartments, including stromal, vascular, and immune cells, serve as essential regulators of tissue function and repair, a perspective that unified many of the presentations and discussions. In diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, disruption of these niche interactions, rather than isolated cellular defects, drives regenerative failure. Spatial transcriptomic approaches reveal how pathological cell states colocalize within aberrant microniches. These insights suggest that effective therapeutics must target entire multicellular ecosystems, with advanced organoid platforms offering promising tools for developing niche-modulating interventions.
