Hepatocytes in Research: Culture, Metabolism & Regeneration
Illustration of hepatocyte culture displaying the fate of hepatocytes from hepatocyte isolation and culture to studies of metabolism and regeneration. Primary human hepatocytes are used to study important liver functions, including drug metabolism, enzyme activity, and cellular responses to different compounds. Research using human hepatocytes also helps scientists understand how liver cells respond to injury and contribute to tissue repair. Together, these applications make hepatocytes useful for drug discovery, toxicology, metabolic studies, and research into liver health and function.
