NEW PneumaCult™-ALI Medium for Air-Liquid Interface Culture of Bronchial Epithelial Cells
A new culture medium for more physiologically relevant differentiation of human bronchial epithelial cells has been released by ϳԹ
A new culture medium for more physiologically relevant differentiation of human bronchial epithelial cells has been released by ϳԹ. Cells cultured with PneumaCult™-ALI at the air-liquid interface (ALI) undergo extensive mucociliary differentiation to form a pseudostratified epithelium that closely resembles the human airway.
"Culturing primary human bronchial epithelial cells at the ALI using current methods often results in unsatisfactory and inconsistent differentiation", commented Michael Riedel, a Scientist at ϳԹ. "Importantly, the morphology of cultures grown in PneumaCult™-ALI more closely and more consistently resemble the human airway, compared to other formulations". Differentiated PneumaCult™-ALI cultures display highly motile cilia, produce and secrete mucus, and develop stable transepithelial electrical resistance.
The development of convenient, yet physiologically relevant in vitro culture systems is critical to research and development on chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma or COPD, and could accelerate the development of inhaled drug formulations. ϳԹ is proud to support respiratory research with new PneumaCult™-ALI.
