Outline Activities
We have developed the original techniques of organoid formation and applied these to develop the hybrid artificial liver. We established the spheroid formation using the polyurethane foam as scaffold of cell culture and developed the hybrid artificial liver support system for clinical use of acute liver failure. The system was applied to the large scaled animal and the clinical effectiveness was proved. We also established the maintenance of liver functions for several months using the hollow fiber as the scaffold and using the centrifugal-force-induced organoid formation and developed the hybrid artificial liver with lobule like structure for chronic liver failure.
