The liver plays a critical role in how the body metabolizes drugs and produces key proteins. This is why liver models are increasingly being developed in the lab as platforms for drug screening. However, existing models so far lack both the complex micro-architecture and diverse cell makeup of a real liver.  Now, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have 3D-printed a tissue that … Continue reading Researchers successfully 3D-print biomimetic liver tissue for drug screening.
