Micropillar/Microwell Chip Assessment for Detoxification of Bisphenol A with Korean Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia). [PDF]
Micromachines (Basel), 2020 A micropillar/microwell chip platform with 3D cultured liver cells has been used for HTP screening of hepatotoxicity of bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical. We previously found the hepatotoxicity of BPA is alleviated by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2).
