Tunable Synthetic Hydrogel Modulates Hepatic Lineage Specification of Human Liver Organoid
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a synthetic hydrogel is reported that supports the formation of hiPSC‐derived human liver organoids (HLOs). Hepatic lineage specification can be modulated via conjugation of RGD peptide to hydrogel: RGD‐conjugated hydrogels promote cholangiocyte differentiation, whereas RGD‐free hydrogels favor hepatocyte commitment of HLO cells.
