Rat Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells

• Description:

  Research on the Rat Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells is essential to the study of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary fibrosis, ventilator-induced lung injury, surfactant deficiency disorders, and hyperoxia-induced alveolar damage. The lungs are the central organs of the human respiratory system, responsible for gas exchange, delivering oxygen to the blood while removing waste (carbon dioxide). They are a pair of spongy, pinkish-gray organs located in the chest, with their surfaces covered by the pleura. The lungs are connected to the trachea through the bronchi, and their interiors are filled with alveoli, which provide a large surface area for efficient gas exchange during respiration. The Rat Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells are to be used with Rat Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0179). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
