Abstract
Organ culture of embryonic lung tissue from 22–24-week human fetuses was carried out. Morphological investigation showed that during culture of human lungs for 30 days the same periods of adaptation, optimal growth, differentiation, and gradual death are observed as in the case of corresponding cultures from rodents. The distinguishing features of organ cultures of embryonic lung tissue from man and rodents are discussed.
