This cover highlights the article A novel human fetal lung-derived alveolar organoid model reveals mechanisms of surfactant protein C maturation relevant to interstitial lung disease by Kyungtae Lim, Eimear N. Rutherford, Emma L. Rawlins, Jennifer A. Dickens and colleagues. Mature, genetically-manipulable and cryo-preservable human alveolar type-2 cell organoids were derived from foetal lungs and used to explore the mechanisms of surfactant processing in pulmonary disease.
