Human Liver Sinusoid on a Chip for Hepatitis B Virus Replication Study
We have developed a miniature human liver (liver-sinusoid-on-a-chip) model using a dual microchannel separated by a porous membrane. Primary human hepatocytes and immortalized bovine aortic endothelial cells were co-cultured on opposite sides of a ...

Cellular destruction in primary cultured hepatocyte cells in Epinephelus coioides in expose to Nonylphenol [PDF]
The present study aimed to use the primary hepatocyte culture of orang spotted grouper, Epinephlus coioides for assessing the toxic effects of nonylphenol (NP) on the primary hepatocyte viability and hepatocyte damage.

Short-term fenofibrate treatment improves ultrastructure of hepatocytes of old rats
INTRODUCTION: Fenofibrate (FN) is a hypolipemic drug used for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia. Since in our previous study FN administration to young and old rats adversely affected the serum activity of liver marker enzymes, we decided to examine ...

An investigation of Cytochrome P450 function in human cell Lines for potential use in a bioartificial liver device [PDF]
Bioartificial Liver Devices (BAL) could provide hepatic function in patients with liver failure awaiting transplantation or liver regeneration. Certain BALs use human hepatoblastoma-derived HepG2 cells that can perform many hepatocyte specific ...

HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF HEPATOCYTE TRANSPLANTATION
Hepatocyte transplantation has been used for temporary metabolic support of patients in end-stage liver failure awaiting whole organ transplantation as a method to support liver function and facilitate regeneration of the native liver in cases of ...
