Recent efforts in bioengineering and embryonic stem cell (ESC) technology allowed the generation of ESC-derived mouse lung tissues in transgenic mice that were missing critical morphogenetic genes. Epithelial cell lineages were efficiently generated from ESC, but other cell types were mosaic. A complete contribution of donor ESCs to lung tissue has never been achieved. The mouse lung has never been generated in a rat.
