Scaffold-free 3D bio-printed human liver tissue stably maintains metabolic functions useful for drug discovery
The liver plays a central role in metabolism. Although many studies have described in vitro liver models for drug discovery, to date, no model has been described that can stably maintain liver function. Here, we used a unique, scaffold-free 3D bio-printing technology to construct a small portion of...
