      Chronic liver disease can lead to liver fibrosis and ultimately cirrhosis, which is a significant health burden and a major cause of death worldwide. Reliable in vitro models are lacking and thus mono-cultures of cell lines are still used to study liver disease and evaluate candidate anti-fibrotic drugs. We established functional multicellular liver spheroid (MCLS) cultures using primary mouse ...
