Topic: Maintenance of Functional Hepatocytes with a Decellularized Three-Dimensional Liver
Extracellular Matrix
Description: Numerous studies have shown extracellular matrix to a capable biomaterial for use in
functional remodelling and regeneration in several tissue structures. More recent studies have shown
tissue and organ specific ECMs can support site specific cell phenotype. The long-term objective of this
project is to develop a three-dimensional liver ECM scaffold suitable as an inductive template for
functional liver reconstruction
