Research on the Rat Esophageal Fibroblasts is essential to the study of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal stricture formation, systemic sclerosis-associated esophageal dysmotility, and radiation-induced esophageal fibrosis. The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscular contractions called peristalsis to transport food from the mouth to the stomach. It is divided into cervical, thoracic, and abdominal sections. The Rat Esophageal Fibroblasts are to be used with Rat Esophageal Fibroblast Medium (Cat. No. ACM0220). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
