Collection of Primary Human Nasal Epithelial Cells
Treatment and prevention of respiratory infections are of great interest in many medical areas. Create a physical device covered by primary human nasal cells could be very usefull in order to analyse delivery and efficiency of drugs. In this context the aim of this project is to create a collection of primary cells from the human nasal epithelium. This collection will be realised during programmed surgery, thanks to a specific device dedicated to collect nasal cells. Then the cells will be sent to the lab in order to grow at the air-liquid interface, which is an excellent 'ex vivo' model for their study.
