studies on normal physiological and pathological processes that take place in the lung are hampered by the architecture and behavior of a living, breathing lung with a very complex three-dimensional structure that is constantly in motion. Not only do the airways and vasculature constrict and relax,

Real-time imaging of inflation-induced ATP release in the ex vivo rat lung.
TLDR
This study demonstrates the feasibility of real-time ATP release imaging in ex vivo lungs and provides the first direct evidence of inflation-induced ATP release in lung air spaces and in pulmonary blood capillaries, highlighting the importance of purinergic signaling in lung function.
Recent advances in the mechanisms of lung alveolarization and the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
TLDR
The objective of this Perspectives article is to update the reader about recent developments in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of alveolarization and the pathogenesis of BPD.
Novel regulators of endothelial barrier function.
TLDR
Recent advances in understanding on the regulation of endothelial permeability are highlighted, with a specific focus on the endothelial glycocalyx and endothelial scaffolds, regulatory intracellular signaling cascades, as well as triggers and mediators that either disrupt or enhance endothelial barrier integrity.
Recent advances in late lung development and the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
TLDR
This review aims to highlight notable recent developments in the understanding of late lung development and the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a disease of prematurely born infants in which the structural development of the alveoli is blunted as a consequence of inflammation, volutrauma, and oxygen toxicity.

Dual-energy micro-CT of the rodent lung.
TLDR
The results indicate that separation and volume estimation of the three material components of the lungs are possible and has applicability in preclinical pulmonary studies where changes in lung structure and gas volume as a result of lung injury, environmental exposures, or drug bioactivity would have important physiological implications.

TLDR
The rapid advancement of bioimaging capabilities at the technical level, the increasing availability of protein-based fluorescent probes, and the ongoing refinement of in vivo and ex vivo lung models provide promising prospects for the application of real-time bioim imaging to the further resolution of pulmonary vascular responses in lung health and disease.
Monitoring perioperative changes in distribution of pulmonary ventilation by functional electrical impedance tomography
TLDR
An extended evaluation procedure is tested, the functional EIT (f‐EIT), to identify the local shifts of ventilation known to occur during the transition between spontaneous, controlled and assisted ventilation modes.
Challenging a paradigm: Positional changes in ventilation distribution are highly variable in healthy infants and children
Current understanding is that infants and children preferentially ventilate non‐dependent lungs, a reversal of that of adults, based on studies using krypton‐81m ventilation scanning. Participants in…
Regional ventilation distribution determined by electrical impedance tomography: Reproducibility and effects of posture and chest plane
TLDR
The reproducibility of repeated EIT measurements was determined and the effect of the studied transverse chest plane on ventilation distribution in different postures was determined.
Real-time lung microscopy.
TLDR
New developments in classical intravital microscopy are summarized and real-time fluorescence imaging is discussed as a novel technique for studying second-messenger mechanisms in the alveolo-capillary region.
Evaluation of an electrical impedance tomography-based global inhomogeneity index for pulmonary ventilation distribution
TLDR
The GI index quantifies the gas distribution in the lung with a single number and reveals good interpatient comparability.
Dynamics of regional lung aeration determined by electrical impedance tomography in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
TLDR
These results show that regional lung mechanics can be assessed by EIT and reflect the lower respiratory system compliance of injured lungs and imply more pronounced regional recruitment and derecruitment in ARDS patients.
Unilateral empyema impacts the assessment of regional lung ventilation by electrical impedance tomography.
TLDR
The results indicate that the presence of empyema may affect the quantitative evaluation of regional lung ventilation by EIT.
Quantitative characterization of postnatal growth trends in proximal pulmonary arteries in rats by phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging.
TLDR
This study is the first to quantitatively describe changes in RPA and LPA flows and sizes with development and to apply phase-contrast MRI techniques to pulmonary arteries in rats.
