Researchers improve RNA extraction from precision-cut lung slices

Precision-cut lung slices allow researchers to study living human lung tissue outside the body, preserving the different cell types and structures that make up the organ. But a material that helps scientists create these slices can also make it difficult to study the genetic activity within them.
