We have developed a computer program to analyze neuronal morphology. In combination with two existing open source analysis tools, our program performs Sholl analysis and determines the number of neurites, branch points, and neurite tips. The analyses are performed so that local changes in neurite morphology can be observed.

We illustrate non-surgical delivery of test materials into the lungs of anesthetized mice via the trachea. This method permits lung exposure to bacterial and viral pathogens, cytokines, antibodies, beads, chemicals, or dyes. We further describe harvesting and processing of lungs and lung draining lymph nodes (LDLNs) for flow cytometry.

FAQs
Stage-by-stage comparison shows when airway branching, epithelial organization, alveolar formation, or broader tissue architecture changes. The timing and pattern of these structural differences can be related to genetic signals, cell behaviors, and interactions between tissues. This approach helps researchers connect visible anatomical outcomes with the developmental processes that shape the respiratory system.
Airway branching, epithelial organization, alveolar formation, and overall tissue architecture provide complementary information. Branching describes how the airway network develops, while epithelial arrangement reflects organization of the lining tissue. Alveolar formation indicates later structural maturation, and global architecture places these features within the developing lung. Together, they provide a multidimensional view of change.
Tissue architecture provides structural evidence that developmental signals and cell behaviors have produced a particular organization. Alterations in branching, epithelial arrangement, or alveolar formation may indicate disrupted development or disease-associated change. Examining these features together helps distinguish localized structural differences from broader changes affecting the organization of the respiratory system.
Imaging provides views of lung structure and shape, histological staining reveals tissue organization, and quantitative measurements convert observed features into values that can be compared. Using these approaches together strengthens interpretation because visual patterns can be examined alongside measurements of branching, epithelial organization, alveolar formation, or overall architecture across developmental stages.
Researchers examine structural features at multiple developmental stages and compare how their organization changes over time. Quantitative measurements can support these comparisons by documenting differences in branching, epithelial arrangement, alveolar formation, or tissue architecture. Relating the observed progression to genetic signals, cell behaviors, and tissue interactions helps identify patterns associated with normal development or abnormal outcomes.
The approach is particularly useful for investigating congenital lung abnormalities, organ development, and regenerative medicine. In congenital conditions, structural comparisons can highlight developmental disruptions. In organ development studies, morphology helps connect tissue organization with underlying mechanisms. For regenerative medicine, examining architecture and maturation provides a way to evaluate how closely developing tissue reflects the intended respiratory structure and function.
