RECONSTRUCTED, DIFFERENTIATED AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CULTURES TO MODEL RESPIRATORY INFECTION.
Normal human tracheal-bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) have been cultured using serum free medium to form a three dimensional tissue-like structure, EpiAirway, that closely resembles the epithelial tissue of the respiratory tract. Histological cross-sections of both the in vitro tissue and... Read More
