Lung Organoids | Human Airway Organoids | Corning

Organoid cell culture has transformed cell-based assays in drug discovery, the study of organs for disease modeling and in basic biology by conferring physiologic relevance to in vitro cell-based biological models. Recently, using organoid models to study human airways has become increasingly important for drug and vaccine development and for studying infectious human respiratory diseases such as COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Lung organoids also have utility in the study of other lung disorders such as cystic fibrosis and asthma. Additionally they act as a powerful resource in other research areas like cancer, drug toxicity and efficacy studies, as well as other translational and medical research studies.
