Primary cell cultures, derived directly from organ tissue, closely mimic the physiological conditions of in vivo cells, offering biologically relevant data. These cultures serve as a superior model for preclinical and investigative research, capturing intercellular and intracellular communication intricacies. Unlike immortalised cell lines, which are prone to mutations and chromosomal abnormalities, primary cells provide a more accurate representation of tissue cell types.
