Investigating the role of geometry, mechanics, and microenvironmental cues on liver progenitor cell differentiation
… of signals in the microenvironment that direct cells and tissue fates. This work focuses on developing and using such systems to investigate how mechanical characteristics impact liver progenitor cell differentiation. In this dissertation, I will introduce and review relevant concepts of …

Engineered microenvironments for studying liver progenitor differentiation
The bipotential differentiation of liver progenitor cells underlies liver development and bile duct formation as well as liver regeneration and disease. Both TGFβ and Notch signaling are known to play important roles in the liver progenitor specification process and subsequent tissue morphogenesis. …

A THREE DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF HUMAN HEPATO-BILIARY ORGANOGENESIS
… have emerged aimed at generating functional liver tissue by using decellularized liver scaffolds repopulated with liver cells. The quest continues for identifying the best cell source for liver tissue engineering, but one cell source in particular, human fetal liver progenitor cells (hFLPCs), …

Epithelial cell plasticity in chronic liver disease (MASLD/NAFLD)
It has been proposed that liver regeneration in chronic liver disease, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is driven by hepatocyte renewal in the early stages, but when hepatocyte proliferation is impaired due to …
