1. MIF is a multifaceted protein interacting with multiple-binding partners and participating in many processes during tissue injury (this thesis).
2. DDT is a structural and functional homolog of MIF, but it is not merely a backup protein for MIF. It also has clear functions of its own. (this thesis).
3. The divergent effects of MIF on lung epithelial repair emphasizes we still need to know more about the interacting partners of MIF in healthy and diseased lung tissue (this thesis).
4. The role of intracellular MIF differs from that of extracellular (exogenously added) MIF. Intracellular MIF is more important in promoting lung cancer (this thesis).
5. Lung organoids are an ideal system to rapidly and easily evaluate human lung progenitor cell responses to growth factors, culture conditions, and drug therapies (adapted from Edward Morrisey). 6. Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less (Marie Curie). 7. The best drugs are love and friendship (Geny Groothuis).
8. You need to climb up one more floor to see things further away
(Zhihuan Wang).
9. Embrace life like a child – wide-eyed and curious, be loving and passionate.
