Response differences of HepG2 and Primary Mouse Hepatocytes to morphological changes in electrospun PCL scaffolds

Abstract Liver disease cases are rapidly expanding across the globe and the only effective cure for end-stage disease is a transplant. Transplant procedures are costly and current supply of donor livers does not satisfy demand. Potential drug treatments and regenerative therapies that are being deve...
