Scheme of the experimental design. Samples were collected at different lung developmental phases (i.e., pseudoglandular, canalicular, saccular and alveolar phases). Fetal (F) rabbit pups were extracted via C-section on the 20th, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 28th and 29th day of gestation (F20–F29); lung samples were harvested immediately after delivery, trying to avoid that pups took their first breath. Term (T) pups were naturally delivered on the 31st day of gestation and maintained with their mothers in room air until lung collection: immediately after birth (T31), and 4 (T35), 6 (T37), and 11 days (T42) after natural birth. Preterm (P) rabbits were delivered through C-section on the 28th day of gestation and maintained in room air until lung collection: immediately after birth (P0), and 3 (P3) and 7 (P7) days after preterm delivery
