In Vitro Recapitulation of the Urea Cycle Using Murine Stem Cell-Derived Liver Model

This study by Tamai et al. explores the recapitulation of the urea cycle in vitro using a liver model derived from murine embryonic stem cells. The research investigates the enzymatic activities involved in urea synthesis and assesses cell viability and metabolite levels throughout the culture periods. By utilizing specific substrates and measuring enzymatic releases, the study provides insights into the functional properties of stem cell-derived hepatocytes. The findings aim to advance the understanding of liver function and potential applications in regenerative medicine and metabolic disorder modeling.
