Cell pellet consisting of 1 million cells dissolved in 200 µl RNAlater® for subsequent RNA, DNA or protein analysis.

Our primary Human Tracheal Smooth Muscle Cells (HTSMC) are obtained from single donors and exhibit positive staining for smooth muscle α-actin. These cells play a crucial role in connecting tracheal cartilage and regulating airway diameter through a contractile structure known as the paries membranaceus.
In conditions like asthma, there's an increase in smooth muscle cells in the tracheal walls, leading to hypertrophy or hyperplasia. This makes HTSMC invaluable for in vitro investigations into asthma and related pulmonary disorders.
