The researchers experimented with inducing oxidative stress in a
human cell line
culture with and without VCOP (virgin coconut oil polyphenols) to observe how VCOP positively promoted catalase, a very important enzyme in protecting the
cell from oxidative damage, and glutathione (GSH), a self - recycling antioxidant produced by the
liver.
In November 2010 Japanese researchers announced online in Analytical Chemistry that they had built a chip that simultaneously tests how
liver, intestine and breast cancer
cells respond to cancer drugs, and in February 2010 scientists publishing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA developed a microscale replica of the
human liver that allowed them to observe the entire life cycle of hepatitis C, a virus that is difficult to observe in
cultured cells.
In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sangeeta Bhatia of MIT and Charles Rice of Rockefeller University describe using microfabricated
cell cultures to sustain hepatitis B virus in
human liver cells, allowing them to study immune responses and drug treatments.

cell - derived hepatocytes differentiated with our robust differentiation protocol and
cultured using our novel maintenance medium provide an inexhaustible, consistent supply of functional hepatocytes that can be used to advance the understanding of diseases related to dysfunction in
liver metabolism, including NAFLD / NASH, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
