In the present study, we have developed an in vitro three-dimensional model to differentiate normal lung cells from lung cancer cells in order to study the mechanisms resulting in lung cancer. Using a reconstituted laminin-rich basement membrane (Matrigel), we were able to culture normal human bronchial epithelial cells and a subset of malignant cells. The two cell types can be readily distinguished by the...
