HeMiBio - Hepatic Microfluidic Bioreactor. KU Leuven
The goal of HeMiBio is to develop a hepatic microfluidic bioreactor from human iPSC-derived hepatocytes, hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC) and stellate cells (HSC), suitable for inclusion in a repeated dose toxicity testing strategy of pharmaceuticals/cosmetic ingredients. The succesful creation of such a liver-device requires (a) homotypic and heterotypic interactions between the three cell types to induce and maintain their ...
