Cold storage of human precision-cut lung slices in TiProtec preserves cellular composition and transcriptional responses and enables on-demand mechanistic studies

Abstract Background Human precision-cut lung slices (hPCLS) are a unique platform for functional, mechanistic, and drug discovery studies in the field of respiratory research. However, tissue availability, generation, and cultivation time represent important challenges for their usage. Therefore, th...
