Cryo Human Stellates 1e5 per vial

Stellate cells, human cryopreserved, passage 1

Stellate cells are a resident cell type of the liver primarily functioning to store retinoids. In response to liver damage, stellate cells rapidly lose the stored retinoids and differentiate into a proliferating fibroblast-like cell that begins depositing collagen matrix. This activity causes buildup of collagen in the liver eventually leading to cirrhosis.
Stellate cells can be isolated from liver tissue, enriched, and placed into cell culture. When placed into culture, stellate cells begin to immediately differentiate into the activated state.
Isolated and enriched stellate cells are cryopreserved as passage 0 (having never been cultured) and at passage 1.
Human Stellate Growth Medium is available to support optimal culture health and growth characteristics of stellate cells.
