• Canine Organoids
• Originally intestine
• First project liver
• Rapid expansion to
different fields in
last few years
18. Partial functional
differentiation
“…these in vitro functions remained less pronounced than those of freshly
isolated hepatocytes.”
- Huch et al. (2013)
”The inability to induce full hepatocyte maturation in vitro is well known in
the field…”
- Nantasanti et al. (2015)
”…they (hepatic organoids) did not reach full maturation…”
- Kruitwagen et al. (2017)
