A new process could help to treat liver disease without needing an organ transplant, a new study reveals. Hepatic progenitor ...

Tissue engineering can perhaps be best defined as the use of a combination of cells, engineering materials, and suitable biochemical factors to improve or replace biological functions. While the ...

Microgravity offers a unique condition for tissue engineering, advancing stem cell-derived liver tissue development. But how can we transport these tissues to Earth without damaging them? Researchers ...

Her work at UCSF spans clinical practice and innovative research, focusing on liver tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The project has received support from several organizations, ...

In a paper published last month, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center introduced lipid nanoparticles — hollow, fatty ...
