to the editor: Chen et al. ([1][1]) recently published in the Journal of Applied Physiology a modeling study of lung inflation effects on stretch and stress of an alveolar septum separating aerated and flooded alveoli ([1][1]). Chen et al. base their model on two images from an experimental study by
