endothelial and mesenchymal cells to divide airspaces into the alveoli. But when the researchers imaged slices of living ...

The HGF also was protective, preventing destruction of the alveoli by reducing ... HGF activity in young mice whose lungs were still forming. They created a mouse in which the HGF receptor ...

Alveoli increase in size by changing their ... Since both the structure of the mouse lungs and the mechanisms of breathing have parallels with our lungs, the results can be transferred.

After injection into damaged mouse lung in vivo, human lung stem cells form human bronchioles, alveoli, and pulmonary vessels integrated structurally and functionally with the damaged organ.

Specialized lung cells ... in a fetal mouse model. “This cell specification begins remarkably early in lung development, and it progressively seeds the premature lung alveolus throughout the ...

Alveoli are tiny air sacs in your lungs that take up the oxygen you breathe in and keep your body going. Although they’re microscopic, alveoli are the workhorses of your respiratory system.

Diseases that can affect these airways include: Your airways branch into tiny tubes (bronchioles) that end in clusters of air sacs called alveoli. These air sacs make up most of your lung tissue.
