by the 5th day in MS cells/hepatocyte co-cultures. The fact that the results of our work show the suitability of MS cells, an epithelialderived cell line, for improving the expression of biotransformation enzymes of cultured hepatocytes opens new possibilities of simplifying co-cultures for their us
## Abstract Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are typically maintained on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeders or with MEF‐conditioned medium. However, these xenosupport systems greatly limit the therapeutic applications of hES cells because of the risk of cross‐transfer of animal pathogens. The
Taurocholate (TC) uptake by adult rat hepatocytes co-cultured with other rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) was studied comparatively to hepatocytes in primary culture. Cells were cultured on Petri dishes for desired times prior to measuring their ability to transport TC. TC uptake was linear for 150
