Summary

The BALANCE project aims to create a bioartificial liver support system for patients with Acute Liver Failure, bridging the gap until liver transplantation or recovery. By utilizing a bioreactor with human liver cells, the project seeks to temporarily restore liver function and improve patient outcomes.

Objective

In BALANCE, the companies Hep-Art, Pharmacell and BioPredic join forces with academic partners Amsterdam Medical Centre and University of Edinburgh to offer Acute Liver Failure (ALF) patients a bioartificial liver-support system for bridging the waiting period for liver transplantation or recovery of the diseased liver.ALF is a highly lethal disorder and liver transplantation is the only life-saving therapy.

However, limited availability of donor livers severely reduces its impact. A bioartifici…
