Proof of concept successful

PRIMACYT's human hepatocyte cell culture system HEPAC² predicted clinical liver functions with much higher accuracy than animal experiments. This was shown in a recently published study with the anti-cancer drug cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline. (PDF-Download: Dickens et al. 2008)
