abstract = "Hepatocytes are highly differentiated cells that lose phenotype and function after 3 to 5 days in vitro. It is well appreciated in the field that hepatic function may be rescued by introducing support cast cells (e.g. stromal cells) or components of extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, we developed a microfluidic device for cultivating intact liver tissue that retains native cellular and matrix elements and demonstrated maintenance of high level of hepatic function for at least 7 days.",
