Primary Cells
Primary cells are living cells that are derived from living tissues. They are used in a wide range of research and medical applications, from the development of drugs and treatments to the study of fundamental cellular processes. Primary cells are invaluable in providing a direct interaction between an organism and its environment, which can more accurately replicate the complexity of a living system. They are significantly more reliable for studying the function, metabolism and interactions of different components of a cell compared to cell lines, which are derived from long-term cultures. In addition, primary cells can be used to generate patient-specific cell types, allowing for the development of personalized medicine.
