Liver Spheroid Disease Models

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inducing non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis in a multi-component liver spheroid. The method includes harvesting or reviving a cryopreserved sample of two or more distinct primary liver cell types and seeding a mixture of at least two or more distinct primary liver cell types to generate a multi-component liver spheroid. Disclosed are mono-component and multi component liver spheroid. The method further includes inducing steatosis in the multi-component liver spheroid through treatment of one or more steatosis inducers, inducing steatohepatitis in the multi-component liver spheroid through a combinatorial treatment of a mixture of the one or more steatosis inducers and one or more fibrosis inducers; and inducing fibrosis in the multi-component liver spheroid through treatment with one or more fibrosis inducers.
