Executive Summary
Organogenesis is to develop a bioartificial liver using a $2 million award from the US National Institute for Standards and Technology. The liver assist device, which uses living liver cells housed in cartridges outside the body, could replace the need for transplantation by providing minimally invasive, short-term support until the patient's own liver recovers or until a transplantable liver becomes available, said the Canton, Massachusetts-based company.
