Table 2. Wnt3a liposomes support serum-free derivation of human liver organoids.

Human liver tissue source Underlying disease Number of donors Successful organoid derivations
Multi-organ donors Cardiac arrest and/or brain death 4 3
End-stage liver disease patients HCV combined with HCC 1 1
  α-1 Antitrypsin deficiency 1 1
  Wilson's disease 1 1

HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; HCV, hepatitis C virus.

Derivations of organoids from biopsies of human liver obtained from multi-organ donors and end-stage liver disease patients in the presence of Wnt3a liposomes (800 ng Wnt3a per ml).
