    Direct contact between iPSC-derived macrophages and hepatocytes drives reciprocal acquisition of Kupffer cell identity and hepatocyte maturation

    Christopher Zhe Wei Lee, Farah Tasnim ... Florent Ginhoux
    Co-culturing pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes and macrophages establishes a physiologically relevant liver model that captures macrophage–hepatocyte interactions, significantly improves hepatocyte maturation, and enables more accurate prediction of immune-mediated drug toxicity.
