Hepatic models
Hepatic models are pre-clinical systems used to research diseases involving the liver. Examples of hepatic models include "liver-on-a-chip", a microfluidic replica or the liver microenvironment, and liver organoids, a collection of various cells that display liver-specific functions and structural organization. Hepatic models have been used for disease modeling, drug development, and clinical application.
