Abstract excerpt
Primary human hepatocyte (PHH) cultures have become indispensable to mitigate the risk of adverse drug reactions in human patients. In contrast to dedifferentiating monocultures, coculture with nonparenchymal cells maintains PHH functions for 2-4 weeks. However, because the functional lifespan of PHHs in vivo is 200-400 days, it is desirable to further prolong PHH functions in vitro toward modeling chronic drug...
