A microscale in vitro physiological model of the liver: predictive screens for drug metabolism and enzyme induction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The administration of multiple drugs for the treatment of diseases is an integral aspect of modern medicine. Though its purpose is to create the intended therapeutic effect, the unintended consequences of drug interactions can cause severe side effects and subsequent economic losses. Likewise, herbal extract...
