Primary Cells in Pulmonary Research

Respiratory research encompasses a wide range of conditions, including acute and long-term dysfunction as well as infectious disease. Respiratory disease is triggered by a mixture of factors, ranging from smoking and air quality to genetic factors and the microbial community of the lung. The lung has a large but tender surface that can be damaged by intruding pathogens. New diseases like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pose a major risk.
