Hepatic Cells
The liver is a highly specialized metabolic organ that plays a major role in detoxification, drug metabolism, nutrition processing, immunological modulation, and bile generation. Hepatic cell populations are composed of parenchymal and non-parenchymal compartments that work together to maintain liver homeostasis and coordinate responses to damage, inflammation, fibrosis and regeneration.
Our hepatic cell collection provides comprehensive in vitro liver research models, including primary hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, Kupffer cells, liver endothelial cells, biliary epithelial cells, fetal liver cells, and liver-derived subcellular fractions. These products support applications in ADME/Tox, DILI assessment, fibrosis studies, liver disease modeling, immunology, and regenerative medicine research.

What types of liver cells are available?
Our portfolio includes primary hepatocytes, hepatic progenitor cells, hepatic stellate cells, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, biliary epithelial cells, liver mononuclear cells, and fetal liver-derived cell populations.
Do you provide pooled and single-donor hepatocytes?
Yes. We offer both pooled-donor hepatocytes and single-donor hepatocyte preparations, including plateable, suspension, and induction-qualified hepatocyte formats.
Are liver microsomes and S9 fractions available?
Yes. Human liver microsomes and S9 fractions from pooled donors are available for drug metabolism, enzyme activity, and pharmacokinetic studies.
Which cells are suitable for liver fibrosis research?
Human hepatic stellate cells are the primary model for fibrosis studies. Kupffer cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are also commonly used to investigate fibrogenesis and inflammatory signaling.
What applications are supported by these hepatic cell models?
Applications include drug metabolism and ADME studies, hepatotoxicity screening, liver fibrosis research, inflammation studies, liver cancer biology, regenerative medicine, and biomarker discovery.
