Revolutionary 3D Lip Cell Model Paves Way for Advanced Treatments
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Medical Xpress
Scientists have developed the first 3D cell model using immortalized lip cells, which could significantly advance treatments for lip injuries. This breakthrough, published in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, involves altering gene expression to extend cell life, allowing for the creation of stable, replicable lip cell lines. These models can mimic real lip tissue, aiding research into wound healing and infections, and potentially benefiting thousands of patients with lip defects.
