In Vitro Model of Liver Steatosis for Screening of Drug Compounds
The decrease in liver steatosis in hepatocytes cultured in steatosis reducing medium. Invention Summary: Donor livers are frequently rejected due to high intracellular fat content, called steatosis, which increases the risk of primary graft non-function in transplant patients. Because liver transplantation remains the only effective treatment for...
