Three-Dimensional Whole-Organ Characterization of the Regional Alveolar Morphology in Normal Murine Lungs
Alveolar architecture plays a fundamental role in the processes of ventilation and perfusion in the lung. Alterations in the alveolar surface area and alveolar cavity volume constitute the pathophysiological basis of chronic respiratory diseases such as pulmonary emphysema. Previous studies based on...
