This review explores potential roles for biomaterials in the field of liver surgery and hepatology. The studies reviewed are presented in three sections. The first section discusses liver regeneration and strategies to modulate it. The second section outlines the pathophysiology of liver inflammation and fibrosis and highlights novel therapeutic targets. The final section summarises the current challenges in liver surgery and discusses how biomaterials may be used to address these challenges and focuses on early translational applications for biomaterials for drug delivery and liver surgery. © 2012 Expert Reviews Ltd.
