Caco-2 Cells for Measuring Intestinal Cholesterol Transport - Possibilities and Limitations
11 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human Caco-2 cell line is a common in vitro model of the intestinal epithelial barrier. As the intestine is a major interface in cholesterol turnover and represents a non-biliary pathway for cholesterol excretion, Caco-2 cells are also a valuable model for studying cholesterol homeostasis, including cholesterol uptake and efflux. Currently available protocols are, however, either sketchy or not...
