Description

This expert program showcases the latest developments in human models of liver diseases. In alignment with the US National Institutes of Health initiative to expand innovative, human-based science efforts, speakers highlight current nonanimal models such as organoids and precision cut tissue slices. Presenters discuss how to obtain and implement these nonanimal models; approaches to model liver diseases with them; and the appropriate applications. Experts convey their perspectives on the future of human-based liver disease models.  

Objectives

  • Discuss methods of translational research using human liver tissues and cells.
  • Describe the role of human liver organoids in the study of the pathogenesis of liver disease.
  • Outline the use of human liver organoids for drug discovery.
