Closing the gap in liver toxicity testing

Microphysiological systems capture the complexity of human liver biology, addressing one of drug development’s most persistent challenges.

Unexpected liver toxicity is one of the most common reasons drugs fail in development or are withdrawn after approval. Standard lab and animal models often miss these risks because they cannot fully capture the complexity of the human liver. Microphysiological systems (MPS) offer a way forward by recreating human liver biology in the lab, providing richer insights into how drugs behave and why toxic effects occur.

  • How advanced liver MPS reveal toxicity signals that conventional tests often overlook
  • What these systems uncover about the biological pathways behind liver injury
  • Ways researchers can use MPS to better predict clinical outcomes and improve drug safety decisions
