Investigating cell-ECM contact changes in response to hypoosmotic stimulation of hepatocytes in vivo with DW-RICM.
Hepatocyte volume regulation has been shown to play an important role in cellular metabolism, proliferation, viability and especially in hepatic functions such as bile formation and proteolysis. Recent studies on liver explants led to the assumption that cell volume changes present a trigger for out...
