Technology Guide: Assessing liver safety with microphysiological systems

Explore the role of microphysiological systems in advancing human-relevant liver toxicity testing and mechanistic evaluation.

Evaluating liver safety early in drug development is critical to reducing risk and downstream failure. By incorporating flow, multi-cellular architecture, and tunable microenvironments, microphysiological systems (MPS) — also known as organ-on-a-chip models — better reflect human liver biology than conventional static assays. These capabilities support improved prediction of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), species translation, and chronic exposure studies.
