Liver Tissue and Cell Distribution System (LTCDS)

肝组织和细胞分配系统(LTCDS)的目标是为美国各地的NIH研究人员提供严格用于研究目的的人体肝脏，以促进弥合动物研究和人类适用性之间的知识差距。该合同使直接研究与反应性代谢、体外模型和疾病有关的更相关的人类肝细胞和肝组织成为可能。

The objective of the Liver Tissue and Cell Distribution System (LTCDS) is to provide access to human liver for strictly research purposes to primarily NIH investigators throughout the United States of America in order to facilitate bridging the knowledge gap between animal research and human applicability. The contract makes it possible to directly investigate the more relevant human hepatocytes and hepatic tissue in regards to responsiveness metabolism, in vitro models, and disease.
