Four key strains illustrate this critical differentiation: (1) L. acidophilus NCFM possesses a complete exopolysaccharide biosynthesis locus and exhibits moderate hydrophobicity, making it particularly suitable for epithelial barrier studies and immunomodulation research. Its genomic architecture enables robust interaction with intestinal epithelial cells, ...
Donor-Derived Primary Tissues To use a human-derived cell type to try to model inflammation, the current industry standard for intestinal research is the immortalized Caco-2 cell line, derived from a human colon tumor. Caco-2 cells have historically not been reproducible across research labs, generally represent a single differentiated ...
