INTRODUCTION: This multistep work has investigated tissue engineering of the liver as approach for treating end-stage liver diseases by different projects. Engineering of hepatic tissue based on primary hepatocytes offers new perspectives in this field. However, generation of thick, 3D liver tissue has been limited by the lack of vasculature in the engineered constructs; hepatocyte survival is transient if limited by insufficient vascular-network formation. To overcome this limitation and establish a vascularized construct, we firstly worked on designing a novel microfluidic-based bilayer device with a discrete parenchymal chamber modeled upon hepatic organ architecture. The design enables the device concept to serve as both a platform te...
