Abstract
Disclosed is a nanofiber-based long-term primary hepatocyte culture system and a culture method, wherein the primary hepatocyte culture system has an advantage that it can culture cells in three-dimensions in vitro to maintain the original physiological activity of low proliferative primary hepatocytes for a long time by co-culturing indirectly by separating primary hepatocytes and hepatic non-parenchymal cells with a support consisting of nanofibers therebetween without direct co-culture.
