16 weeks post-conception human fetal lung. The branching airway tree is surrounded by bands of developing smooth muscle (green), which also labels the developing vasculature. The epithelial progenitor cells (co expressing SFTPC in white and NOTUM in red) are initiating the process of alveolar epithelial development. Image supplied by co-author Emma Rawlins (University of Cambridge), image credit Dr Kyungtae Lim.
