A long-term three dimensional liver co-culture system for improved prediction of clinically relevant drug-induced hepatotoxicity

► 3D liver co-cultures maintain liver specific functions for up to three months. ► Activities of Cytochrome P450s remain drug- inducible accross three months. ► 3D liver co-cultures recapitulate drug-induced liver toxicity observed in vivo. ► 3D liver co-cultures can detect species-specific drug toxicity observed in vivo. ► This in vitro model may improve assessment of human relevance of preclinical findings.
