Evaluation of Three-Dimensional Cultured HepG2 Cells in a Nano Culture Plate System: an In Vitro Human Model of Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity

Overdoses of acetaminophen (paracetamol, N-acetyl-p-aminophenol; APAP) cause severe liver injury, yet there is no common or high throughput in vitro human APAP model. This study examined the characteristics and usefulness of HepG2 cells grown in a nano culture plate (NCP) system, a three-dimensional...
