Amino acid levels determine metabolism and CYP450 function of hepatocytes and hepatoma cell lines

Hepatocytes grown in a dish are immature and do not metabolize compounds as a real liver would. Here, the authors supply stem cell-derived hepatocytes with amino acids at a higher concentration than nutritionally necessary, changing the metabolism of these cells, making them more mature and useful f...
