Inspired by hepatic lobules, a novel artificial liver was developed by assembling morphological cell sheets with high accuracy in terms of cell type, density, and distribution. By simulating the ...

The black circle you see in the middle of this image is one of many structures called central veins; they are located in liver lobules, large functional units within the liver. Here, you can see that ...

Liver cells are organized around the central veins to form hexagonal hepatic lobules that are powerhouses of liver metabolism and immune-metabolic regulators upon infection.
