LifeNet Health LifeSciences offers a large inventory of primary human hepatocytes in plateable and suspension categories. Inventory includes cells from both healthy and diseased tissue.
Hepatocytes make up approximately 60% of the liver and perform multiple functions including protein synthesis and storage, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, and detoxification. Primary human hepatocytes are the gold standard for metabolism, drug-drug interaction, and toxicity studies.

*NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) score (NAS) was assigned according to the standards of the NASH CRN Scoring System (Hepatology 41: 1313-1321, 2005).
**Inflammation and fibrosis were assessed using standard Batts-Ludwig scoring methodology (Scale, 0-4, American Journal of Surgical Pathology 19: 1409-1417, 1995).
Human Hepatocytes are suitable for a range of applications, including
- Metabolic clearance
- Drug-Drug interaction
- Disease modeling
- Transporter assays
- Pharmacogenomics studies
- 2D and 3D cell culture
