Sw480 Cells
Sw480 cells are a human colon cancer cell line derived from a metastatic lymph node. They are useful in medical research because they serve as a model to study numerous biological processes involved with cancer. They can help to identify, better understand, and evaluate potential treatments for the disease. In particular, they can be used to study the effects of genetic mutations, cellular pathways, and new therapeutic compounds, which can help to develop more effective treatments for cancer. Sw480 cells are widely used in laboratories for research due to their robustness and ability to adapt to various experimental protocols. They are also used to study the importance of epigenetic modifications in tumourigenesis.
