Resazurin Sodium Salt in iPSC-CF Testing
2026-08-25
Patient-derived iPSC airway models are making cystic fibrosis drug testing more genotype-aware, but translational decisions require both disease-specific functional measurements and robust cell-state controls. This article positions Resazurin sodium salt as a complementary redox-based readout for viability, metabolic activity, assay quality, and screening scalability—not as a substitute for direct CFTR function assays.
