During the last 10+ years biologically and clinically significant questions about postnatal
lung development could be answered due to the application of modern cutting-edge …

Pulmonary acini represent the functional gas-exchanging units of the lung. Due to technical
limitations, individual acini cannot be identified on microscopic lung sections. To overcome …

According to the current view, the formation of new alveolar septa from preexisting ones
ceases due to the reduction of a double-to a single-layered capillaries network inside the …

Establishing the 3D architecture and morphometry of the intact pulmonary acinus is an
essential step toward a more complete understanding of the relationship of lung structure …

Structural data about the human lung fine structure are mainly based on stereological
methods applied to serial sections. As these methods utilize 2D images, which are often not …

The alveolar capillary network (ACN) has a large surface area that provides the basis for an
optimized gas exchange in the lung. It needs to adapt to morphological changes during …

The primary aim of this morphological investigation was to elaborate a concept allowing us
to coherently define reference spaces for morphometric analysis of fetal lung development …

This study investigated the histomorphological features of developing rabbit respiratory acini
during the postnatal period. On the 1st day of postnatal life, the epithelium of terminal …

The pulmonary airways are subdivided into conducting and gas-exchanging airways. The
small tree of gas-exchanging airways which is fed by the most distal conducting airway …

The human lung is born with a fraction of the adult complement of alveoli. The postnatal
stages of human lung development comprise an alveolar stage, a stage of microvascular …
