pixHep™ are iPSC-derived hepatocytes with mature morphology, functional CYP activity, and stable performance for 30+ days in culture.

They are available in wild-type, disease-specific, or CRISPR-edited formats, enabling precise modelling of metabolism, toxicity, and disease pathways.

Stable Phase I/II enzyme activity for over a month.

Maintains metabolic function for long-term studies, enabling chronic toxicity and metabolite profiling.

Native ASGR1 expression for GalNAc-siRNA delivery studies

Displays native transporter activity for realistic drug absorption and liver-specific distribution studies.

Predictive DILI response matching clinical outcomes.

Accurately identifies human-relevant drug-induced liver injury during preclinical screening.

Custom genetic variants for mechanistic studies.

CRISPR-engineered pixHeps model disease-linked variants to uncover mechanisms and validate therapeutic targets.

Ready for high-content imaging and co-culture.

Optimized for complex screening platforms and multi-cell type systems for advanced phenotypic analysis.
