General description

Williams′ Medium E was developed by Williams and Gunn as a modification to Williams′ Medium D. The medium is formulated to support long-term cell culture of adult liver epithelial cells. It is a modified Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) with altered glucose and amino acid content.

Application

Williams′ Medium E has been used in the culturing of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and hepatic cells.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.292 g/L L-glutamine.

Other Notes

Phenol red has been shown to interfere with the growth of some cells at low or cloning densities. Use this version of William's E when working with stem cells or cells at low densities.

Adaptation to fasting involves both Glucocorticoid Receptor (GRα) and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α (PPARα) activation. Given both receptors can physically interact we investigated the possibility of a genome-wide cross-talk between activated GR and PPARα, using ChIP- and RNA-seq in primary

New paradigms for human health risk assessment of environmental chemicals emphasize the use of molecular methods and human-derived cell lines. In this study, we examined the effects of the insect repellent DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) and the phenylpyrazole insecticide fipronil (fluocyanobenpyrazole) on

Atherosclerosis underlies many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Nutraceuticals are emerging as a therapeutic moiety for restoring vascular health. Unlike small-molecule drugs, the complexity of ingredients in nutraceuticals often confounds evaluation of their efficacy in preclinical evaluation. It is recognized that
