Air-liquid interface culture: getting a closer look into our airways

Air-liquid interface cell culture (ALI) allow scientists to generate stable and functional in vitro 3D human airway cell models that closely mimic respiratory tract epithelia. With such models, researchers can investigate physiological and pathological processes of the respiratory tract. They can study interactions between epithelial cells and respiratory pathogens or air pollutants,…
