The liver performs hundreds of essential functions for the human body, including protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism, detoxification, and drug metabolism. Yet hepatocytes, the primary functional cell of the liver, have been historically difficult to culture ex vivo. To overcome this hurdle, a variety of complementary in vitro liver models have been introduced. These models, which can be broadly categorized into 2D vs. 3D models, now offer a sizable toolkit with which to study human hepatic biology and disease. Culture format restrictions and hepatic functionality (eg, albumin secretion, cytochrome induction, and urea secretion) stratify each model, though none of them are both simple to use and effective for predicting all hepatic functions. Future work must focus on model affordability/accessibility, throughput, and long-term maintenance of a broad range of hepatic functions.
