Bioartificial Liver Assist System: Tissue Engineering Challenges

Viac o knihe

Focusing on innovative solutions for liver disease treatment, this book discusses the creation of a novel hybrid fibrous scaffold for bioartificial liver assist devices. It addresses the critical challenge of bioreactor configuration by integrating polyethylene terephthalate fibers onto hollow polysulfone capillary tubes through advanced braiding technology. This design enhances fluid flow and improves cell anchorage, offering a potential bridge for patients awaiting liver transplants. The work serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and medical professionals in liver tissue engineering.
