气道上皮细胞研究

近端气道上皮由三种主要细胞类型组成：基底细胞（推测为干细胞）、杯状细胞（产生和分泌黏液）以及纤毛细胞（驱动黏液纤毛清除吸入颗粒物）。 查看更多 Model the airway epithelium using air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures to generate a pseudostratified mucociliary epithelium with these major cell types. This highly physiologically relevant in vitro cell culture model can be used to study respiratory biology, model diseases, and support drug development.
