摘要

The human liver carries out critical functions in metabolism and immune regulation. Replicating its extracellular matrix landscape is central to tissue and disease modeling. The dominance of Matrigel® in tissue culture and organoid formation is increasingly being rivaled by decellularized liver extracellular matrix-derived hydrogels as promising alternatives that preserve the inherent complexity of their natural counterparts, thereby advancing hepatic organoid formation and maturation as well as high-throughput drug screening.
