Making liver tissue in the lab for transplants and drug screening
Engineered liver tissue could have a range of important uses, from transplants in patients suffering from the organ’s failure to pharmaceutical testing. Now scientists report in ACS’ journal Analytical Chemistry the development of such a tissue, which closely mimics the liver’s complicated microstructure and function more effectively than existing models. The liver serves a critical … Continue reading “Making liver tissue in the lab for transplants and drug screening”
