Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a
dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable …

For decades, preclinical toxicology was essentially a descriptive discipline in which
treatment-related effects were carefully reported and used as a basis to calculate safety …

Background Conventional preclinical models often miss drug toxicities, meaning the harm
these drugs pose to humans is only realized in clinical trials or when they make it to market …

The vascularization of engineered tissues and organoids has remained a major unresolved
challenge in regenerative medicine. While multiple approaches have been developed to …

Idiosyncratic (unpredictable) drug-induced liver injury is one of the most challenging liver
disorders faced by hepatologists, because of the myriad of drugs used in clinical practice …

Over the last decades, the fabrication of 3D tissues has become commonplace in tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine. However, conventional 3D biofabrication …

Hepatocytes operate in highly structured repeating anatomical units termed liver lobules.
Blood flow along the lobule radial axis creates gradients of oxygen, nutrients and hormones …

Organs-on-a-chip (OOCs) are miniature tissues and organs grown in vitro that enable
modeling of human physiology and disease. The technology has emerged from converging …

Extrusion-based bioprinting (EBB) is a rapidly growing technology that has made substantial
progress during the last decade. It has great versatility in printing various biologics, including …

Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is a rare but potentially severe adverse drug
reaction that should be considered in patients who develop laboratory criteria for liver injury …
