Functional characterization of a bioengineered liver after heterotopic implantation in pigs
Anderson et al. demonstrate a method for seeding and engrafting primary porcine hepatocytes into a bioengineered liver (BEL) scaffold previously reendothelialized with HUVECs. This study constitutes an important advance in the effort to generate transplantable livers of a clinically relevant size fo...
