Human airway epithelium used to test nasal spray

Caption

Researchers were able to use cells from human donors and re-grow the structure of the airway surface, the epithelium, to recreate the first line of defense against respiratory viruses. This model of the human airway was key to researchers showing that INNA-X can directly activate your airway epithelium so that it is better prepared to repel viruses and protect you from disease.
