Abstract excerpt
Removal of hepatocytes from their physiological environment for experimentation in vitro activates loss of liver-specific phenotype. Hepatocytes cultured in a sandwich configuration reportedly maintain greater expression of certain liver-specific genes than hepatocytes in monolayer cultures. We show that sandwich culture of rat hepatocytes improves retention of expression of a liver-enriched transcription factor,...
