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.

Early prediction of human clearance is often challenging, in particular for the growing number of low-clearance compounds. Long-term in vitro models have been developed which enable sophisticated hepatic drug disposition studies and improved clearance predictions. Here, the cell line HepG2

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

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

Drug-induced skin sensitization is prevalent worldwide and can trigger life-threatening health conditions, such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome. However, existing in vitro skin models cannot adequately predict the skin sensitization effects of drugs administered into the systemic circulation because dermal inflammation
