Figure 7. Co-culture of microcapsules with 3T3-J2 fibroblasts improves hepatic function.

Figure 7

(A) For co-culture experiments, microcapsules were seeded directly onto a fibroblast monolayer, and (B-C) exhibited higher levels of albumin secretion and induced CYP3A4 activity on Day 7. (D) Albumin ELISA results for transwell cultures comparing the effects of proximity between fibroblasts and hepatocytes. (n=3, * p<0.05, **p<0.01). Scale bar = 500 μm.
