In a recent study, Professor Shimpei Gotoh (Department of Clinical Application) and Junior Associate Professor Kazuo Takayama (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) teamed up to construct a novel in vitro culture system for alveolar and airway epithelial cells, employing a biomaterials engineering method known as micro-patterning technique, and using the newly devised system to simulate viral infections by SARS-CoV-2 variants.
