The Caco-2 cell line is a well-established and widely used human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line that was originally derived from a tumor in a 72-year-old patient with colorectal carcinoma. Caco-2 cells exhibit characteristics of enterocytes, the cells lining the intestinal epithelium, making them a valuable tool for studying intestinal drug absorption, transport mechanisms, and cellular processes relevant to the gastrointestinal tract.
Caco-2 cell line serves as a valuable in vitro model for studying intestinal physiology, drug absorption, and related cellular processes. Its widespread use in research has advanced our understanding of intestinal biology and has contributed significantly to the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, and gastrointestinal research. Continued investigation using the Caco-2 cell line is crucial for further elucidating the complexities of intestinal function and developing innovative strategies for drug delivery and therapy in various clinical applications.
