These cell lines can be grown in 2D or as organoids in 3D and can be used to study the effects of environmental exposures and the mechanism by which lung adenocarcinoma develops.
About
Dr. Offringa’s lab developed immortalized human alveolar epithelial cell lines, which were lacking, and is in the process of developing a collection of such cell lines from diverse populations. These cell lines grow in 2D or in 3D as organoids and can be used to study the effects of the environment on alveolar epithelium and epigenome and the mechanism by which these cells can turn into lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.
Key Benefits
These cell lines grow in 2D or in 3D as organoids and can be used to study the effects of the environment on alveolar epithelium and epigenome and the mechanism by which these cells can turn into lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.
Applications
Companies that wish to test the effects of environmental agents on human alveolar cells.
