5C is a combination of five compounds used for long-term functional maintenance of primary human hepatocyte in vitro.Liver is an important organ in the human body, responsible for metabolism, detoxification, hematopoietic coagulation, immunity and other functions. Hepatocytes are liver parenchyma cells that account for 80-90% of the liver and are the main bearers of liver function. The isolation and in vitro culture of primary hepatocytes provide important methods and materials for simulating liver diseases and studying molecular mechanisms. However, freshly isolated primary hepatocytes can only be maintained for 10-14 days in vitro, during which their functionality rapidly declines. They subsequently transform into fibroblast-like stellate cells and eventually undergo apoptosis, which presents changes for in vitro cell culture to simulate in vivo diseases and study molecular mechanisms. Therefore, maintaining the stability of hepatocytes during long-term in vitro culture and ensuring their functionality consistent with that in vivo remains a long-standing unresolved issue and challenge in the field of liver research.5C is based on "Long-term functional maintenance of primary human hepatocytes in vitro" published by Professor Deng Hongkui's research group at Peking University in April 2019 (Xiang C, et al. Science. 2019 Apr 26;364(6438)
