- Abstract
During all the stages of lung development, the lung mesoderm (or mesenchyme) is closely related to the endoderm, and their cross-regulation promotes, controls, and drives all lung developmental processes. Generation of 3D organoids in vitro, RNA assays, and mitochondrial respiration studies are used to analyze lung development and regeneration to better understand the interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme, as well as for the study of redox alterations and the metabolic status of the cells. Moreover, to avoid using immortalized cell lines in these in vitro approaches, standardized murine neonatal primary lung fibroblast isolation techniques are essential. Here, we present an optimized method to isolate, culture, and freeze primary lung fibroblasts from neonatal lungs. Our current method includes step-by-step instructions accompanied by graphical explanations and critical steps.
