Key Words Liver transplant; Liver transplantation; Machine perfusion; Ex vivo liver machine perfusion; Small animal machine perfusion
Core Tip Small animal liver machine perfusion models are essential for studying dynamic liver preservation in transplantation research. Rat liver perfusion provides a cost-effective and accessible platform, but currently no standardized protocols exist, limiting reproducibility and progress. This review highlights variations in existing studies, technical challenges, and limitations, emphasizing the urgent need for standardization. By summarizing key developments and system differences, it offers researchers practical insights to optimize perfusion strategies, improve reproducibility, and reduce animal use in future studies.
