Role of Precision Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) In Advancing COPD Preclinical Research

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a global health burden characterized by persistent airflow limitation and progressive lung damage. Despite extensive research, translating findings from bench to bedside remains a challenge. Precision Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) have emerged as a versatile tool in COPD research, offering unique advantages for understanding disease mechanisms and testing therapeutic interventions. By breaking down their diverse applications, this blog highlights the critical value of PCLS in addressing unmet needs in COPD research and therapy development.
