Liver diseases are responsible for two million deaths worldwide every year and have diverse causes, such as alcohol, viruses, chemical compounds, and genetic factors. Liver transplantation is the only therapy for liver failure, but the scarcity of donors and the need for immunosuppression represent a great obstacle for its implementation. Bioengineering offers an alternative to traditio…
The liver is the second largest solid organ of the human body, playing an important role in the maintenance of the homeostasis. Hepatic pathologies can be fatal, while the only therapeutic option is transplantation. However, there are some problems regarding liver transplants: the increasing waiting list is not accompanied by a rise in donors; the need to use immunosuppressant after surge…
Liver failure represents a global health crisis, with limited treatment options due to the shortage of donor organs. Alternatives like hepatocyte transplantation and bioartificial livers depend on functional, expandable hepatocytes, but existing cell models fail to preserve liver-specific functions in vitro. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be differentiated into hepatocy…
