High-Content 3D Toxicity Assay Using iPSC-Derived Hepatocyte Spheroids
17 Feb 2019There is increasing interest in exploring the use of three-dimensional (3D) spheroids for modeling developmental and tissue biology with the goal of accelerating translational research in these areas. As a result, the development of higher throughput quantitative assays using 3D cultures is an active area of investigation. In this study, we developed and optimized methods for the formation of 3D liver spheroids derived from human iPS cells as well as confocal imaging and analysis methods for toxicity assessment.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
