A cellular model system for drug development in fatty liver disease

A 3D in vitro cell culture model as a basis for the development of new treatment strategies for one of the most common diseases in industrialized nations

12-Sep-2024 - Scientists from the Medical Faculty Mannheim, Heidelberg University have developed a model system that can be used to test the efficacy of drugs for fatty liver disease. It is a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture system based on primary human liver parenchymal cells (hepatocytes). The ...
