Enhancing the drug metabolism activities of C3A - A human hepatocyte cell line - By tissue engineering within alginate scaffolds

(English)  

In this study, we investigated the applicability of C3A-a human hepatocyte cell line - as a predicting tool for drug metabolism by applying tissue-engineering methods. Cultivation of C3A cells within alginate scaffolds induced the formation of sphero...
