Inspired by hepatic lobules, a novel artificial liver was developed by assembling morphological cell sheets with high accuracy in terms of cell type, density, and distribution. By simulating the ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

The central vein (CV) region, driven by the Wnt signaling pathway, and the portal vein (PV) region, driven by the Notch signaling pathway, enable us to construct a biomimetic liver lobule ...

As seen by the naked eye, the liver has four lobes: right lobe, left lobe, caudate lobe, and quadrate lobe. This lobe division is based on surface features. When looking at the front of the liver, the ...
