Ventilation enables passive perfusion of pulmonary vasculature. Lungs were cultured with ventilation only, in a bioreactor filled with 5μm microspheres. Microspheres are found in both larger vessels (A) and capillary structures (B), indicating that the vasculature is passively perfused due to ventilatory motions. Scale bars are 10μm in both panels.
