E-Cadherin Protects Primary Hepatocyte Spheroids from Cell Death by a Caspase-Independent Mechanism
Cultivation of primary hepatocytes as spheroids creates an efficient three-dimensional model system for hepatic studies in vitro and as a cell source for a spheroid reservoir bioartificial liver. The mechanism of spheroid formation is poorly understood, as is an explanation for why normal, anchorage...
