Modeling Bronchial Epithelial-Fibroblast Cross-Talk in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Using a Human-Derived In Vitro Air Liquid Interface (ALI) Culture

Scientists investigate IPF dysregulated cross-talk, primary normal human bronchial epithelial cells and primary normal human lung fibroblasts or diseased human lung fibroblasts from IPF patients, were co-cultured in direct contact at the air–liquid interface.
