Abstract

Maintaining stable cultures of viable and metabolically active primary hepatocytes is a long standing problem 1. Synthetic biomaterials with tuneable chemical properties may provide a suitable platform for the culture of primary cells. Hepatocytes are capable of binding terminal galactose residues via the hepatocyte asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPr); targeting of this receptor may facilitate binding of cells, influence morphology and ultimately improve cellular function 2
