Abstract
Organoid technology is a state-of-the-art cell culture tool that has revolutionized study of development, regeneration, and diseases. Human liver organoids (HLOs) are now derived from either adult stem/progenitors or pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), emulating cellular diversity and structural symphony akin to the human liver. With the rapid rise in decompensated liver disease conditions only treated by liver transplant therapy, HLOs represent an alternate source for transplantation to address the ongoing shortage of grafts. Although ongoing advancements in bioengineering technology have moved the organoid transplant approach to the next level, sustained survival of the transplanted tissue still eludes us toward functional organ replacement. Herein, we review the development of HLOs and discuss promises and challenges on organoid transplant approaches.
