Understanding Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Airway Epithelial Repair: Selecting the Most Appropriate Animal Models

<table>Schematic diagram of the sheep lung with different compartments that can be manipulated to induce injury at different time points. Different colours represent different time point of endobronchial brush injuries. (LC: left cranial; LCD: left cranial diaphragmatic; LVD1: left ventral diaphragmatic lobe 1; LVD2: left ventral diaphragmatic lobe 2; RA: right apical; RC: right cranial; RCD: right cranial diaphragmatic; RVD1: right ventral diaphragmatic lobe 1; RVD2: left ventral diaphragmatic lobe 2).</table>
