Discover how iPSC derived cells can support drug and gene therapy development

Drug Discovery World

Primary hepatocytes represent the gold standard in vitro cell model for functionality, however, when isolated from liver tissue, primary cells maintain expression of key proteins for only a short period. In addition, stable cell lines derived from cancers represent a single and karyotypically abnormal genotype. Watch on demand.
