Lung Epithelial Cells

The investigation of the human lung and its diseases is an important issue for drug development processes, although it is hampered by the availability of suitable in vitro models. Using our CI-SCREEN technology (recently published in Nature Communications; Lipps et al., 2018) we developed a novel immortal human lung epithelial cell line displaying a primary like phenotype.
