Beneficial Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Porcine Hepatocyte Viability and Albumin Secretion

Figure 7

Albumin secretion of hepatocytes coencapsulated and cocultured with MSC. Albumin secretion was measured by ELISA in the supernatant of cell culture after 24 hours from day 2 to day 8. (a) Alg-microencapsulated hepatocytes alone (white bars) or with MSC (grey bars), measured in 2 independent experiments. (b) Free hepatocytes alone (white bars) or with MSC (grey bars), measured in 5 independent experiments. , .
