    Abstract: A liver-mimetic device and method include a 3D polymer scaffold having a matrix of liver-like lobules with hepatic-functioning particles encapsulated within the lobules. In some embodiments, each liver-like lobule is hexagonal in structure and the matrix is in a honeycomb arrangement. In some embodiments, the hepatic-functioning particles are hepatic progenitor cells. In other embodiments, the hepatic-functioning particles are polymer nanoparticles adapted to capture pore-forming toxins.

    Abstract translation: 肝模拟装置和方法包括具有包封在小叶内的肝功能颗粒的肝样小叶的基质的3D聚合物支架。 在一些实施方案中,每个肝样小叶的结构是六边形的,并且基质是蜂窝状的。 在一些实施方案中,肝功能颗粒是肝祖细胞。 在其它实施方案中,肝功能颗粒是适于捕获成孔毒素的聚合物纳米颗粒。
