Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Modeling of human liver development, especially cellular organization and the mechanisms underlying it, is fundamental for studying liver organogenesis and congenital diseases, yet there are no reliable models that mimic these processes ex vivo. DESIGN: Using an organ engineering approach and relevant cell lines, we designed a perfusion system that delivers discrete mechanical forces inside an...
