Liver Organoids: Recent Developments, Limitations and Potential [PDF]
Liver cell types derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) share the potential to investigate development, toxicity, as well as genetic and infectious disease in ways currently limited by the availability of primary tissue. With the added advantage of patient specificity, which can play a role in all of these areas.

Generation of human liver organoids from pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatic endoderms [PDF]
Background The use of a personalized liver organoid derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (HuiPSCs) is advancing the use of in vitro disease models for the design of specific, effective therapies for individuals. Collecting patient peripheral

A liver organoid is an in vitro reconstruction of the liver that mimics the in vivo liver microstructure and performs liver functions. Liver organoids can be used for drug testing, as a model of liver disease pathogenesis, and as a bioartificial ...

Human Organoids for Predictive Toxicology Research and Drug Development
Organoids are three-dimensional structures fabricated in vitro from pluripotent stem cells or adult tissue stem cells via a process of self-organization that results in the formation of organ-specific cell types.

A Chemically Defined Hydrogel for Human Liver Organoid Culture. [PDF]
AbstractEnd‐stage liver diseases are an increasing health burden, and liver transplantations are currently the only curative treatment option. Due to a lack of donor livers, alternative treatments are urgently needed. Human liver organoids are very promising for regenerative medicine; however, organoids are currently cultured in Matrigel, which is ...

Massive and Reproducible Production of Liver Buds Entirely from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Summary: Organoid technology provides a revolutionary paradigm toward therapy but has yet to be applied in humans, mainly because of reproducibility and scalability challenges.

Challenges for the Applications of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Liver Organoids
The current organoid culture systems allow pluripotent and adult stem cells to self-organize to form three-dimensional (3D) structures that provide a faithful recapitulation of the architecture and function of in vivo organs.

Liver organoids: established tools for disease modeling and drug development
In the past decade, liver organoids have evolved rapidly as valuable research tools, providing novel insights into almost all types of liver diseases, including monogenic liver diseases, alcohol-associated liver disease, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, various types of (viral) hepatitis, and liver cancers.
