Ammonia-based enrichment and long-term propagation of zone I hepatocyte-like cells

Abstract Ammonia has a cytotoxic effect and can therefore be used as a selection agent for enrichment of zone I hepatocytes. However, it has not yet been determined whether ammonia-treated hepatocyte-like cells are able to proliferate in vitro. In this study, we employed an ammonia selection strateg...
