  "summary": "Respiratory mechanics direct cell fate in the lung, but the mechanisms by which these mechanical signals are sensed and transmitted to the nucleus to control cell state remain unclear. We paired in vivo perturbations of respiratory mechanics with single-cell genomics and found that alveolar fibroblasts are highly sensitive to physical changes in their microenvironment, exhibiting persistent…",
