Study Findings on Regenerative Medicine Are Outlined in Reports from Kyushu University (Decellularized Mouse Liver As a Small-scale Scaffold for the Creation of a Miniaturized Human Liver).

A recent report from Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan discusses the development of a miniature human liver using a decellularized mouse liver template. The researchers successfully removed the cells from the mouse liver and preserved the vascular network, allowing for the infusion of primary human hepatocytes. The recellularized liver constructs expressed liver-specific mRNA markers and showed potential for applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The study highlights the potential of decellularized liver tissue as a scaffold for creating functional human livers on a small scale. [Extracted from the article]
