Abstract

In article number 2007425, Junmin Lee, Ali Khademhosseini, and co-workers present a breakthrough for modeling of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) based on bioengineered multicellular liver microtissues and a liver-on-a-chip system. The microtissues consisting of four major liver cell types (primary human hepatocytes, stellate cells, Kupffer cells, and endothelial cells) recapitulate the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis driven by NAFLD.
