American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology
The aims of this review are to collate the disparate literature on porcine lung anatomy, histology, and microbiology; to provide a comparison with the human lung; and to describe appropriate bronchoscopy procedures for the pig lungs to aid clinical researchers working in the area of translational respiratory medicine using the porcine model.
A high-resolution cell atlas of the domestic pig lung and an online ...
May 20, 2021 · Here, we apply scRNA-seq technology to study the cellular heterogeneity of 3-month-old pig lungs, generating the single-cell atlas of 13,580 cells covering 16 major cell types. Based on these data, we systematically characterize the similarities and differences in the cellular cross-talk and expression patterns of respiratory virus receptors in ...

The aims of this review are to collate the disparate literature on porcine lung anatomy, histology, and microbiology; to provide a comparison with the human lung; and to describe appropriate bronchoscopy procedures for the pig lungs to aid clinical researchers working in the area of translational respiratory medicine using the porcine model.
Respiratory system - The Pig Site
Dec 1, 2018 · The shiny membranes that covers the surface of the lungs and the inside of the chest wall are called the pleura. Infection or inflammation of these surfaces is called pleurisy. This together with pericarditis is very common in the pig and accounts for considerable loss through condemnation at slaughter.
Anatomy of the pig lungs. The right lung consists of the upper, …
With a lung anatomy and physiology close to that of humans, pigs are a relevant model for aerosol administration under mechanical ventilation (Guillon et al., 2018;Sécher et al., 2020a).
Scientists successfully transplant lab-grown lungs into pigs - Science News
Aug 3, 2018 · For the first time, researchers have created lungs in the lab and successfully transplanted them into pigs. These bioengineered lungs, described online August 1 in Science Translational...
A high-resolution cell atlas of the domestic pig lung and an online ...
May 20, 2021 · Our pig lung scRNA data provides the expression profiles of genes at the cell subgroup level implicated with the pig-to-human immunological and coagulation compatibility. Breaking down or overexpressing the surface protein expression into specific cell subgroups would help decipher the accurate cell populations responsible for incompatibilities ...
Characterization of the pig lower respiratory tract antibiotic
Aug 12, 2023 · In this study, we used 745 lower respiratory tract metagenomes from 675 experimental pigs across five wild and domesticated pig populations to characterize the composition and distribution of...
The Porcine Lung in Biomedical Research - Meyerholz - 2018
Apr 1, 2018 · The pig lung is similar in overall size and development to humans. In humans, the tracheal cartilage is “C”-shaped with the open side of the “C” along the posterior border, but in pigs the edges of the cartilage are longer and extend in overlapping fashion along the posterior (or “dorsal”) border.
In-vivo X-ray Dark-Field Chest Radiography of a Pig
Jul 6, 2017 · In this letter, we present the first in-vivo XDF full-field chest radiographs (32 × 35 cm2) of a living pig, acquired with clinically compatible parameters (40 s scan time, approx. 80 µSv dose).
