The liver is the largest organ of the human body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body.
Isolated hepatocytes or their enzymes comprise the basis of most in vitro DMPK and toxicity assays used to predict human hepatic outcomes. Because hepato-specific functions are typically lost...
