Artificial Kidney, Artificial Liver, and Artificial Cells : Springer : 9781468424805 : 1468424807 : 11 Feb 2013 : There is a rapid increase in interest related to novel approaches in artificial kidneys, artificial liver, and detoxifi­ cation. Recent research has included the successful clinical appli­ cations of the principle of artificial cells for adsorbent hemo­ perfusion. Since it is 20 years ago at McGill that the first report on "Artificial Cells" was presented, I thought it might be useful to get together a small group of speakers and participants for a day before the ASAIO meeting to discuss some recent advances in the area of the clinical applications of artificial kidney, artificial liver and artificial cells with emphasis on adsorbent hemoperfusion. However, the enthusiastic supports of distinguished speakers, session chairmen and participants were such that the original pro­ jection of 100 participants had expanded to a preregistration total of 250, from Australia, Canada,
