Modeling NAFLD with human pluripotent stem cell derived immature hepatocyte like cells

(Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf) Researchers from the Institute for Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine at the University Clinic of Düsseldorf have established an in vitro model system for investigating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The study led by Professor James Adjaye has now been published in the journal Stem Cells and Development.
