Technology Guide: Assessing liver safety with microphysiological systems

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

Brought to you byCN Bio

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.
