A cryopreservable and scalable workflow is developed to generate hiPSC-derived hepatic organoids that can be directly matured to either static HLOs or LoC systems, enabling matched comparison of both platforms and establishing a robust hiPSC-derived LoC platform.
The liver and kidneys are essential for drug metabolism and clearance and are highly sensitive to toxicity. Most in vitro models assess these organs in isolation, limiting the study of inter-organ interactions. Here, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived kidney–liver organ-on-a-chip model was developed that c...

Reverse bioengineering is introduced as a unifying design framework for liver-on-a-chip systems, in which human liver development is treated as the primary engineering blueprint rather than adult hepatic phenotype as the endpoint.
An in vitro model of human liver with functional integrity would advance liver research and enable personalized therapeutics. A microfluidic liver-on-a-chip can generate a functional hepatobiliary network using human liver cells and recapitulate blood circulation and bile excretion. However, many current microfluidic l...

It is suggested that HSC heterogeneity, whether iPSC-derived or donor-derived, is an important factor in fibrotic output and response variability in human liver organoid models and should be considered in model design, interpretation and comparison between studies.

Overall, liver organoids are best viewed as fit-for-purpose tools for mechanistic studies, target validation and early candidate evaluation, with future progress requiring improved standardisation, patient-tissue benchmarking and clinically relevant validation.

Milk Fat Globule-EGF Factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a multifunctional glycoprotein implicated in tissue homeostasis and repair. While its roles in intestinal and pancreatic injury are well established, its function in hepatic regeneration remains poorly defined. In this study, we investigated MFG-E8 expression and activity using...
