Branching Lung Organoids
Lung organoids with branching of proximal and distal airway-like structures
Description
Branching Lung Organoids are 3D structures derived from stem cells and used to study lung development and disease in vitro.
Our organoids are generated in-house using a robust, reproducible kit from STEMCell Technologies and can be further used by researchers to model infectious diseases (e.g., covid, RSV and measles) and other lung diseases, as well as being used to screen and test therapeutics.
