Esophagus
Research on the Human 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 Human Esophageal Fibroblasts are to be used with Human Esophageal Fibroblast Medium (Cat. No. ACM0043). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
