Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of human serum (HS) on the properties of human respiratory epithelial (RE) cells compared to fetal bovine serum (FBS) in cell cultures to better understand airway epithelial function and disease.
- RE cells exhibited better growth rates and morphology when cultured in HS, showing a proliferation rate three times higher and requiring fewer days to double in number compared to those in FBS.
- Gene expression analysis indicated that key genes associated with epithelial quality remained comparable between both supplements, suggesting that while HS promotes growth, it does not compromise the integrity of the RE cells.
