Non-parenchymal cells

Non-parenchymal cells - a clue to specific research problems

Though the human liver consists mainly of hepatocytes, other cell types like ito cells, kupffer's cells, cholangiocytes, etc. fulfill particular and important tasks within the organ. They are called non-parenchymal cells.

hepacult acquires these cells along the lines of the isolation of hepatocytes. The technological differences are well-known to hepacult and tested again and again in concrete applications.

These non-parenchymal cells are involved in metabolic and pathophysiological processes, too, which makes them interesting for pharamceutical research.

Specific research questions can only be addressed by examining these cell types. For instance, kupffer's cells serve as in vitro model for the exploration of the viral gene transfer's risk potential. They are inflammation mediators, aggravating complications within the clinical application of adenoviral gene transfer at tumour patients.

hepacult is your expert and source in non-parenchymal cells, too

Like "pathocultures" non-parenchymal cells are new to the market. hepacult's technological headstart secures the company's position as pioneer supplier and service partner in this market niche.
