Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Adequate biological models are a prerequisite to screening and development of probiotic drugs. In the present study, Caco-2 cell line is reviewed as a model for analyzing properties of probiotics. This cell culture possesses all the characteristics necessary for evaluating the effects of probiotic drugs on a wide range of both intracellular processes and intercellular interactions. Informativeness of Caco-2 cells is in the focus of the present review.
