Title:
HUMAN LIVER-LIKE THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE, METHOD FOR EVALUATING HEPATOTOXICITY AND HUMAN LIVER-LIKE COMPLEX
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/171220
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Long awaited is a human liver-like three-dimensional structure that makes it possible to carry out evaluation of human-specific toxicity and the like accurately and in a simple manner. The present invention provides a human liver-like three-dimensional structure comprising a heterospheroid, in which human hepatic cells and other human-derived cells which are not human hepatic cells are aggregated. This human liver-like three-dimensional structure is characterized in that the other human-derived cells are at least one selected from human hepatic stellate cells and the like, and the other human-derived cell to the human hepatic cell count ratio is at least 0.01 but less than 1.
