Recently in Stem Cell Reports, Guo et al. (2017) adopted an intermittent reprogramming strategy to generate "induced Progenitor-Like (iPL)" cells, which can maintain lineage commitment while undergoing controlled expansion. The iPLCs were successfully engrafted into a damaged airway, highlighting this significant advancement for regenerative medicine strategies in the lung.
