Research on the Rat Hepatic Stellate Cells is essential to the study of chronic liver injury, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatic regeneration, portal hypertension, and vitamin A metabolism disorders. The liver is the largest solid organ in the body, located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in various functions, including blood filtration, detoxification, nutrient metabolism, and bile secretion, to help maintain bodily balance. Common liver diseases include hepatitis, fatty liver, and cirrhosis. The Rat Hepatic Stellate Cells are to be used with Rat Hepatic Stellate Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0234). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
