A preliminary study for constructing a bioartificial liver device with induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Bioartificial liver systems, designed to support patients with liver failure, are composed of bioreactors and functional hepatocytes. Immunological rejection of the embedded hepatocytes by the host immune system is a serious concern...
