technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to an in vitro construction method and application of liver organoids. Background technique
[0002] Acute liver failure (ALF) is a clinical syndrome of a large number of liver cell necrosis and severe liver damage in a short period of time caused by factors such as viruses, drugs, toxins, or alcohol, often causing jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, and multiple organ dysfunction. Complications such as failure and high mortality. Liver transplantation is currently the only effective treatment. However, the shortage of donor livers is far from meeting clinical needs, and many patients died while waiting for liver donors. In addition, medical treatment is only symptomatic and supportive and cannot improve the prognosis of patients, so it is urgent to develop an alternative treatment.
