Medical interventions to prevent graft rejection after liver transplantation
Liver transplantation is the main treatment option for people with severe, advanced liver disease, but it ’s a challenging procedure that can lead to serious complications. The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group has produced several reviews to look at the evidence to help overcome these, and a new review from March 2017 examines immunosuppressive therapy to prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted liver. We asked the lead author, Kurinchi Gurusamy from the UCL Medical School in London in the UK to tell us what they found. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Cotton candy machines have inspired a new way to build capillary structures necessary to make full-scale artificial livers, kidneys, bones and other essential organs. While some may call the approach a little crazy, engineers have shown the machines make possible a simple technique to make microfluidic networks that mimic the three-dimensional capillary system in the human body in a cell-friendly fashion.
