Automated Image Analysis of Lung Branching Morphogenesis from Microscopic Images of Fetal Rat Explants

Background. Regulating mechanisms of branching morphogenesis of fetal lung rat explants have been an essential tool for molecular research. This work presents a new methodology to accurately quantify the epithelial, outer contour, and peripheral airway buds of lung explants during cellular developme...
