ABSTRACT:
A method for maintaining hepatocytes in culture includes providing the hepatocytes with a support, the support including extracellular matrix, the support having a configuration that permits each of at least a portion of the hepatpocytes to form at least one apical surface and at least two discrete basal surfaces.
