Temporal differentiation of bovine airway epithelial cells grown at an air-liquid interface

Abstract There is an urgent need to develop improved, physiologically-relevant in vitro models of airway epithelia with which to better understand the pathological processes associated with infection, allergies and toxicological insults of the respiratory tract of both humans and domesticated animal...
