Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has developed a vascularized liver tissueoid-on-a-chip (LToC) platform that ...
A liver tissueoid-on-a-chip with functional blood vessels, diverse liver cells, and immune activity replicates transplant ...
A new type of tissue model that more accurately mimics the architecture of the liver could help develop drugs to treat MASLD.
