Summary of studies on liver organoid applications in regenerative medicine.

Author Approach Disease Mouse Model Reconstitution Follow Up Reference
Huch et al. Bile-duct derived organoids from Lgr5+ stem cells Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH)−/− mutant mice (model for Tyrosinemia type I liver disease) 0.1% of total liver volume 60–90 days [112]
Huch et al. EpCAM+ ductal cells from human liver biopsies induced to differentiate in hepatocytes and to form organoids Balb/c nude mice treated with CCl4-retrorsine to induce acute liver damage 50–100 ng/mL of blood human albumin levels 120 days [144]
Hu et al. 3D organoids from mouse and human primary hepatocytes Fah−/− NOD Rag1−/− Il2rg−/− (FNRG) mice (model of tyrosinemia type I) 200 µg/mL on average of blood human albumin levels 90 days [145]
Rashidi et al. Organoid from iPSC-derived hepatocytes Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH)−/− mutant mice (model for Tyrosinemia type I liver disease) and Fah−/− NOD Rag1−/− Il2rg−/− (FNRG) mice (model tyrosinemia type I) Detectable levels of human albumin 14 days [146]
Blackford et al. iPSC-derived hepatocytes generated with a cGMP compliant method was established to generate and seeded on a 3D poly-ethylene glycol-diacrylate scaffold to generate an organoid Immune competent (C57BL/6 and Crl:CD1) and immune deficient (Rag2γ) mice Detectable levels of human albumin 12 days [147]
