New In Vitro (In-laboratory) 3D Model Representing the Arterial Walls in the Lungs

Caption

Pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells derived from patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension were cultured in 3D to generate an in vitro model of the pulmonary arterial wall. This fluorescence staining image of cell nuclei shows multiple layers of cells, demonstrating the successful generation of tissues with a thickness comparable to that seen in the human body.
