About the Webinar
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly NAFLD) is a complex metabolic liver disorder that can progress from fat accumulation to inflammation, fibrosis, and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma. Current treatment options focus primarily on lifestyle modification and pharmacological intervention to delay disease progression; however, they cannot regenerate damaged liver tissue. As a result, liver transplantation remains the last resort, but donor scarcity and surgical risks pose significant challenges.
In this webinar, Prof. Ashok Kumar from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur will introduce an “off-the-shelf” hepatic patch produced using DLP-based 3D bioprinting technology. This hepatic patch is designed to deliver mesenchymal stem cell–derived exosomes to enable localized and sustained therapeutic activity as well as tissue regeneration.
This session will be highly relevant for researchers, pharmaceutical scientists, and medical professionals interested in novel regenerative approaches for MASLD, the design of 3D-printed scaffolds for exosome delivery, and preclinical findings demonstrating improved liver function and reduced fibrosis.
What You Will Learn
- Why MASLD requires new regenerative medicine strategies
- How bioprinted scaffolds enhance exosome stability and controlled release
- Preclinical findings demonstrating improved liver function and reduced fibrosis
