The liver is the body's control tower for metabolism, powering vital functions like converting nutrients to glucose, storing fat and breaking down toxins. Over a third of the world, however, is ...

Organoids are small-scale models that mimic human organs. These models could help scientists understand diseases and test treatments, and potentially aid in regenerative therapeutic methods.

Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

The researchers discovered a crucial biological mechanism by studying mouse embryo development. They found that during a specific stage of liver development (between embryonic days 10 and 11), mouse ...

Systemic Bio LLC has developed a 3D bioprinted human Vascularized Integrated Organ System (h-VIOS) platform that better recapitulates the native-like liver architecture and vascularization, ...
