Abstract:
3D organoid culture has become a powerful tool and model for various human diseases, including liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Hepatic organoids have significant advantages over traditional primary cell cultures. The hepatic progenitor cells can be induced to form hepatic organoids. The established organoids can be passaged or cryopreserved for future use. The established hepatic organoids can be manipulated to study the disease progression of NASH-related fibrosis. Here, we describe a protocol to establish mouse liver ductal organoids.
