A bioengineered human model to detect drug induced liver injury

Researchers from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, have developed the Human Physiomimetic Liver Acinus Model (HPLAM), a 3D-printed liver model that mimics human liver functions to better predict drug-induced liver injuries. This advanced model aims to address the limitations of animal testing in drug toxicity evaluation, offering a more accurate and human-relevant alternative.
