The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Human periportal assembloid, showcasing the three key cell types of the liver: portal fibroblasts (magenta), cholangiocytes (green), and hepatocyte nuclei (blue). All cell borders are delineated in ...

The market is experiencing a significant transition from traditional 2D cell cultures to more sophisticated 3D liver models and liver-on-chip microfluidic systems. These new-generation systems better ...

Assessing the toxicity of food contaminants—including carcinogenic potential—is a major challenge in evaluating the risks associated with exposure. In recent years, as part of efforts to reduce animal ...
