Applications

  • Investigation of the effects of novel drugs, adenovirus or nanoparticle therapies in a milieu that retains the architecture, interactions, and multicellular characteristics of the healthy and cirrhotic hepatic tissue using PCLS. Comparison between species.
  • Hepatotoxicity studies.
  • Cell distribution and ultrastructural analysis of treatment with nanoparticles.
  • Evaluation of the dose-effect response of a new treatment in human hepatic cells.

Model relevance

Well established pre-clinical tool to evaluate toxicity, therapeutic efficacy and dose-response of new drugs or functionalized nanoparticles in humans, and also in rats or mice.
