"Liver-on-a-Chip" Cultures of Primary Hepatocytes and Kupffer Cells for Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Published on: February 19, 2019
Abstract:
The cases of two patients with recurrent oriental cholangiohepatitis are discussed. This syndrome, which has hitherto been rarely encountered in the Western hemisphere, may be seen with increasing frequency because of the influx of immigrants from southeast Asia.
