Abstract excerpt
The interaction between hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and hepatocytes contributes to HSC activation and liver regeneration; however, the mechanisms in humans remain unclear, particularly the significance of their direct contact and the role of cell adhesion molecules. In this study, we established a novel contact co-culture organoids using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived hepatic stellate-like cells...
