High Metabolic Function of Primary Human and Porcine Hepatocytes in a Polyurethane Foam/Spheroid Culture System in Plasma from Patients with Fulminant Hepatic Failure

It has been demonstrated that plasma from patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) interferes extensively with cellular function. We placed primary human and primary porcine hepatocytes in a polyurethane foam (PUF)/spheroid culture system and compared the metabolic functions in the plasma of pa...
