3D InSight mouse liver microtissue validation supports reproducible preclinical testing
1 Jul 2026This validation report from InSphero evaluates the performance of 3D InSight™ C57BL/6 mouse liver microtissues, confirming consistent morphology, viability, and functionality over a 28-day culture period. The co-culture model, composed of primary hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells, demonstrates stable tissue structure and reproducible behavior across experimental conditions.
Functional testing, including albumin secretion, cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity, and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) assays, supports the model’s suitability for safety assessment and preclinical research. The results confirm that the validated cell lot meets performance criteria for use in liver toxicity studies and related applications.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

In vitro models are widely used in drug testing, cell biology, and disease research.
