Paving the way to future organ factories
Publicado em 21 abril 2021
Extracellular matrix obtained by controlled decellularisation is used to reconstruct the liver with human-like characteristics, paving the way for transplantable livers.
Researchers at the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center (HUG-CELL), hosted by the University of São Paulo‘s Institute of Biosciences (IB-USP) in Brazil, have developed a technique to reconstruct and produce transplantable livers in the laboratory.

Mini livers can be printed within 90 days
Publicado em 15 janeiro 2020A new study suggests mini livers can be successfully printed in the laboratory within 90 days. This could have profound implications for transplant patients around the world. Scientists have successfully grown ‘mini livers’ in the laboratory in a breakthrough which could provide an alternative to organ transplant. [1] Figures from the NHS suggest thousands of people’s lives [2] are being put at risk by the wait for organ transplant. For those living with organ failure, the [...]ver notícia
