Liver Bile Secretion Physiological Map
Liver Bile Secretion Physiological Map
The Liver Bile Secretion Physiological Map is constructed through the curation of literature evidence and pathway resources. A Physiological Map is a type of Disease Map focused on the underlying undisturbed physiological processes. This work is performed in close collaboration with domain experts. This map is being developed to study chemical-induced steatosis in the ONTOX project.
