Core Tip	The current lack of transplantable donor livers in the world has led to the development of extracorporeal liver support systems as one possible approach to overcome this problem. Bioartificial liver (BAL) support systems require a cell source to replicate human liver function, yet the ideal cell source for this purpose has yet to be determined. Highly-functional hepatocyte-like cells have recently been generated from human pluripotent stem cells, which show promise as a potential cell source in BAL support systems for the treatment of liver failure in the future.
