Liver Biology and Advanced Hepatocyte Culture Models
Explore the key principles and advancements in liver biology and hepatocyte culture with Dr. Edward LeCluyse, Research Fellow at LifeNet Health LifeSciences. Dr. LeCluyse will provide a comprehensive overview of liver and hepatocyte biology, including key principles that govern cell structure and function. The session will delve into the critical role of non-parenchymal cells in sustaining liver activity in vitro and highlight how co-culture systems can better replicate in vivo physiology. Attendees will also gain an in-depth look at the TruVivo® All-Human 2D+ Hepatic System—an advanced platform designed to support more physiologically relevant liver models for research and drug development.
