Expert view: Overcoming the problems of working with human primary hepatocytes
Human primary hepatocytes (hpheps) are the gold standard for in vitro evaluation of drug metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and metabolic disease research. However, hpheps don’t survive in standard 2D culture for very long – no longer than two or three days.

Blood stem cells balance the immune system by teamwork
The human body’s blood stem cells produce approximately 10 billion new white blood cells – termed immune cells – every day. Scientists in the U.S. have now discovered that some blood stem cells pick up the slack should any others fail to achieve these levels.
