This study evaluates the use of precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) to detect and quantify antifibrotic responses to erlotinib in murine and human cirrhosis models.

This study evaluates culture and RNA isolation methods for cirrhotic precision-cut liver slices, finding that insulin and dexamethasone improve albumin production and gene expression.

The paper examines the liver's response to microinjuries in healthy and cirrhotic rats, finding that cirrhotic livers show increased susceptibility to ischemia and exacerbated cell death.
