Three-dimensional hepatocyte culture system for the study of Echinococcus multilocularis larval development.
Hepatocyte-based metacestode culture is an attractive method to study alveolar echinococcosis (AE), but it is limited by the relatively short lifespan of cultured hepatocytes in maintaining their normal function.We describe a three-dimensional (3D) hepatic culture system developed from co-cultured h...
