Hepatocytes
With over 15 years of experience in differentiating human pluripotent stem cells down the endodermal lineage, we are experts in creating functional and mature iPS cell-derived hepatocytes. Our robust, serum-free and feeder-free differentiation protocol recapitulates liver development in vivo and is the foundation for our differentiation kits, iPS cell-derived hepatocytes, and directed differentiation to hepatocyte service. In addition to providing you with an inexhaustible supply of functional hepatocytes, we have also developed a novel maintenance medium that extends the viability and functionality of human primary hepatocytes for applications that require long culture times.
