Applications

  • Molecular biology assays in response to treatments with drugs, gene therapy or functional nanoparticles.
  • Cell reprogramming (knock-in and knock-out).
  • Cell migration assays.
  • Cell proliferation and viability assays.
  • Cell adhesion assays.
  • Cell culture in hypoxic conditions.
  • Oxidative stress analysis.
  • Induction of Fatty acid accumulation and measurements by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Model relevance

Well-established cell lines representative for every hepatic cell subpopulation for the study of signaling pathways affected by different treatments and to assess toxicity and effectivity of novel biomaterials or nanotherapeutics.
