Descriptor Spanish: Células CACO-2
Descriptor células CACO-2
Scope note: Células de adenocarcinoma de colon humano que son capaces de expresar elementos de diferenciación característicos de las células intestinales maduras, como los enterocitos o las células mucosas. Estas células son herramientas valiosas para estudios in vitro relacionados con la función y diferenciación de la célula intestinal.
