Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study we developed a robust method to derive multi-cellular human liver organoids including immune components that exhibit resemblance to in vivo-derived tissues. Under free fatty acid treatment, the organoids recapitulated key features of steatohepatitis in a successive manner. Furthermore, organoids from patients of Wolman disease, which is a congenital steatohepatitis driven by loss-of-function mutation of lysosomal acid lipase, phenocopied severe steatohepatitis.
