Reviewer 1 Report
Overall this is a nice review of rodent lung transplantation citing examples of using this model to enhance lung transplant research. This also highlights the groups methods for performing these surgeries although not sure if this is the major importance of this review. However, it is helpful for those who may want to try to develop these models.

Reviewer 2 Report
Thank you for the opportunity to have been able to view this work. Personally I find the topic of great interest, the work is well structured and treated with competence and exhaustive. Surely the topic is very vast and complex but in my opinion this work certainly represents a good starting point for those who want to have an overview of the problem and for those who then want to expand their knowledge on this topic.
