    Introduction of shRNAs, miRNAs, or AntagomiRs into Primary Human Liver Cells Through Lentiviral Vectors

    RNA interference (RNAi) is a specific and efficient method to silence gene expression in mammalian cells. However, genetic manipulation of primary cells including human hepatocytes by RNAi remained challenging...

    Pregnane X receptor activation and silencing promote steatosis of human hepatic cells by distinct lipogenic mechanisms

    In addition to its well-characterized role in the regulation of drug metabolism and transport by xenobiotics, pregnane X receptor (PXR) critically impacts on lipid homeostasis. In mice, both ligand-dependent ...
