Jessica Weaver, PhD, Research and Product Development Scientist at LifeNet Health, reviews data from our new hepatic cell-based co-culture model which is comprised of primary human hepatocytes with human feeder cells, all derived 100% from donated human tissue. Topics include:

• The unique ability of the LifeNet Health LifeSciences hepatic triculture cells to self-assemble into hepatocyte colonies representative of native tissue
• How this multicellular system accurately and consistently mimic key metabolic functionality and cell-to-cell interactions over time
• The process for pre-qualifying this hepatic triculture to remove variability, enabling a broad range of investigations for drug discovery and development
