Mesenchymal lineages play critical roles during development, though these cells are frequently overlooked in directed differentiation models. Here they derive lung-specific mesenchyme from mouse iPSCs and generate organoids consisting of both mesenchymal and epithelial progenitors, observing functional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk.
