Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- A single-use bioengineered liver paired with an extracorporeal blood circuit was tested in a small phase I trial.
- The system replicates key functions of a human liver.
- It was shown to be safe among patients with syndromes of liver failure.

## Why it matters

It is an early safety result for an extracorporeal bioengineered liver support approach in patients with liver failure, a step toward clinical use, though a small phase I trial cannot establish efficacy.
