Moreover, human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be applied to generate functionally maturated liver and bile duct epithelial cells.In this Special Issue, we welcome reviews and original papers focussing on hepatic cell sources, including adult hepatic stem cells, organoids, fetal and induced pluripotent stem cells, and primary cells (i.e., hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and endothelial cells) and how these cells can be applied in tissue engineering strategies to generate implantable and personalized liver grafts. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: liver tissue engineering, liver regeneration, graft repair, liver stem cells and organoids, bio-scaffolds, and 3D printing.We invite you to contribute original research papers, as well as comprehensive reviews, aligned with these themes, to advance and improve the actual state-of-the-art in liver bioengineering and providing new opportunities for the imminent medical problem of organ and tissue shortage for transplantation. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $a3D printing 610 $a3D structuring 610 $aadditive manufacturing 610 $abioengineered organ 610 $acopper toxicosis 610 $adirect printing 610 $aend-stage liver diseases 610 $ahepatobiliary stent 610 $ahydrogel 610 $aliver 610 $aliver bioreactors 610 $aliver regeneration 610 $aliver tissue bioengineering 610 $aliver transplantation 610 $amedical device 610 $an/a 610 $aoxygen persufflation 610 $apersonalized medicine 610 $apreclinical large animal model 610 $arandomized controlled trail 610 $areconditioning 610 $aregenerative medicine 610 $astem cell transplantation 610 $astem cells 610 $atissue engineering 610 $aWilson Disease 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aSpee$b Bart$4auth$01290161 702 $aVan der Laan$b Luc J.W$4auth 702 $aVerstegen$b Monique M.
