All Human Hepatic Tri-Culture System

LifeNet Health LifeSciences’ Hepatic Tri-Culture Model is currently in product development. This in vitro assay system, comprised entirely of primary human cells: hepatocytes, endothelial, and stromal cells from donated human tissues. This system extends the viability, functionality, and metabolic capacity of primary human hepatocytes for at least four weeks. The cell populations are cultured collectively and allowed to self-assemble into hepatocyte cords, representative of native tissue. The tri-culture platform is ideal for drug discovery and development applications, including metabolic clearance, induction, drug-drug interactions, drug-related hepatotoxicities, and disease modeling of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatitis infections.
