During pseudoglandular stage of the human lung development the primitive bronchial buds are initially conformed by simple tubules lined by endoderm-derived epithelium surrounded by mesenchyme, which will progressively branch into airways and start to form distal epithelial saculles. For first time alveolar type II (AT2) pneumocytes appears. This study aims to characterize the genes and microRNAs involved in this differentiation process and decipher its role in the starting alveolar differentiation.
