From: Focal exposure of limited lung volumes to high-dose irradiation down-regulated organ development-related functions and up-regulated the immune response in mouse pulmonary tissues

Fibrotic changes in the control or irradiated lung tissues after focal 90 Gy or 20 Gy irradiation. Mice were sacrificed at the indicated time points after irradiation, and the lungs were immersed in fixation solution. a Representative images of hematoxylin–eosin-stained lung sections from three mice are shown at each time point. The arrows indicate the focally irradiated area. b Lung sections were stained with Masson’s Trichrome stain to visualize blue-colored collagen deposition and quantitative assessments of the degree of collagen deposition were determined using an image J program (*p <0.05 vs non-irradiated control)
