A549 (Lung cancer cell line)

The A549 cell line consists of human lung cancer cells that are commonly used in research to study lung cancer behavior, including its growth, response to treatments, and underlying biology. Derived from a patient’s lung tumor, these cells can be grown in laboratories to help scientists understand how lung cancer develops and to test potential therapies. Using A549 cells allows researchers to simulate the disease in a controlled environment, providing valuable insights into cancer mechanisms and aiding in the development of new drugs and treatments.
