Evaluation of a liver-chip model for clearance prediction

In this new publication led by scientists at Novartis and the University of Tübingen, the authors take a deep, engineering level look at the performance of a microphysiological liver on chip model for predicting human hepatic clearance, a central parameter in preclinical drug development.

Liver-on-a-chip – Revolutionizing assessment of drug-induced liver injury

Summary of our work that established a human liver microphysiological model as an in vitro platform for the evaluation of drug-induced liver injury, published in Nature Scientific Reports. This case study sheds light on the effects of the known hepatotoxic antibiotic trovafloxacin and the commonly used analog levofloxacin on human liver tissue, using an innovative chip-based liver model.
