The advantages of using primary cells in respiratory research
Respiratory research benefits from primary cell research as this biological niche has a complex array of cells influencing and acting upon each other. 3D cell culture using primary cells from a disease specific donor allows understanding of in vivo processes in disease specific states, and comparison to healthy donor cells. Learn more about the use of primary cells in respiratory research in our article….

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

A Home for Cancer Stem Cells: 3D Tumorspheres
Many scientists working in oncology focus on cancer stem cells (CSCs). Targeting these cells specifically could improve cancer therapy significantly. Because CSCs rely heavily on their environment, three-dimensional cultivation offers the unique opportunity to better understand this interaction. We talked to two scientists working in this field of cancer research.
In the human body,…
