Corning® HepatoCells Spheroids: A New High Throughput 3D Model for Hepatotoxicity Studies

Cell cultures are an essential tool used for drug discovery and development to understand the effect of the drugs on the human body. Research has shown that 3D cultures better reflect the in vivo behaviors of cells than 2D cultures, so will show the effects more accurately. In this application note a study is described combining Corning HepatoCells and Corning spheroid microplates in order to create a 3D culture for cytotoxicity screening.
