Formation, morphology and function of a 3D hepatocyte-hepatic stellate cell co-culture system

In these studies the ability of a three-dimensional hepatocyte-stellate cell co-culture system to preserve some key aspects of differentiated hepatocyte function in vitro is demonstrated. A poly(DL-lactic Acid) surface allows dynamic and rapid interaction of hepatocytes and stellate cells to form co...
