HepaRG-Progenitor Cell Derived Hepatocytes Cultured in Bioartificial Livers Are Protected from Healthy- and Acute Liver Failure-Plasma Induced Toxicity

Background/Aims: For applicability of cell-based therapies aimed at the treatment of liver failure, such as bioartificial livers (BALs) and hepatocyte transplantation, it is essential that the applied hepatocytes tolerate exposure to the patient plasma. However, plasma from both healthy donors and a...
