Breaking barriers in lung research with engineered airway epithelial cell culture models
The strategic selection and integration of engineered airway epithelial models improves mechanistic understanding, supports preclinical drug evaluation, and reduces reliance on animal experiments. These platforms provide physiologically relevant, patient-specific systems for the advancement of translational lung research.
