摘要
The present invention is related to the field of liver disease. Solid substrates comprising microfluidic channels (e.g., microchips) are configured to support growing and differentiating hepatocytes and are contemplated to provide a suitable environment for the development of fully functional liver tissue. These solid substrates can be used to induce various toxicity conditions in the liver tissue subsequent to the exposure to various chemicals. For example, chronic exposure to ethanol induces a clinical state of alcoholic liver disease in the liver tissue. Alternatively, certain disease states can result in the development of non-alcoholic liver diseases (e.g., non- alcoholic steatohepatitis; NASH).
