Description
Summary:Steagall and Moss discuss the study by Guo and colleagues which used state-of-the-art single-cell techniques to provide insights into lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare multisystem disease primarily affecting women. LAM is characterized by cystic destruction of the lungs, kidney angiomyolipomas, and/or lymphatic involvement. The researchers have taken great strides to shed light on three of the key issues.
