CACO-2 Cells and their Uses

CACO-2 cell cultures are widely used in vitro models in several scientific fields such as nutrition, physiopathology, pharmacology, and toxicology. When cultured onto filters, these cells form a highly polarized epithelium that allows discrimination between apical and basolateral compartments. This new book presents topical research in the study of CACO-2 cells and their uses. Topics discussed include the application of CACO-2 cell models as a supportive in vitro tool during drug discovery ...
