Abstract
Long awaited is a human liver-like three-dimensional construct that makes it possible to carry out evaluation of human-specific toxicity and the like accurately and in a simple manner. The present invention provides a human liver-like three-dimensional construct comprising a heterospheroid, in which human hepatic cells and other human-derived cells which are not human hepatic cells are aggregated. This human liver-like three-dimensional construct is characterized in that the other human-derived cells are at least one selected from human hepatic stellate cells and the like, and the other human-derived cell to the human hepatic cell count ratio is at least 0.01 but less than 1.
