The aim of this study was to test suitable culture conditions for maintaining normal cellular cytoarchitecture and inducibility of P450 enzymes in primary cultures of human hepatocytes by prototypical inducers. The selectivity and sensitivity of a sandwich culture system were determined by treating

Cell migration in extracellular matrix is a complex process of adhesion and deadhesion events combined with cellular strategies to overcome the biophysical resistance imposed by three-dimensionally interconnected matrix ligands. Using a 3-D collagen matrix migration model in combination with compute
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) expression is regulated by multiple nuclear receptors including the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR). We compared coregulation of CYP2C9 with CYP2B6 and CYP3A4, prototypical target genes for human CAR and PXR using human hepatocyte cul
## Abstract Laminins and collagens are extracellular matrix proteins that play essential roles in peripheral nervous system development. Laminin signals regulate Schwann cell proliferation and survival as well as actin cytoskeleton dynamics, which are essential steps for radial sorting and myelinat
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. It is secreted as a proenzyme and activated by membrane type-MMPs (MT-MMP), such as MT1-MMP. In liver fibrosis, MMP-2 is highly expressed in myofibroblasts and may have a profibrogenic role. The mechanisms of its acti
