Studies of stem cell behaviour during regeneration have largely focused on understanding how cells make the choice between self-renewal and differentiation. It remains unclear whether cells undergo smooth transitions during differentiation or pause at selective intermediate states. Three studies now explore this question in lung regeneration.
