At present, the use of alternative systems to replenish the lost functions of hepatic metabolism and partial replacement of liver organ failure is relevant, due to an increase in the incidence of various liver disorders, insufficiency, and cost of organs for transplantation, as well as the high cost of using the artificial liver systems. The development of low-cost intracorporeal systems for maintaining hepatic metabolism using tissue engineering, as a bridge before liver transplantation or completely replacing liver function, deserves special attention. In vivo applications of intracorporeal fibrous nickel-titanium scaffolds (FNTSs) with cultured hepatocytes are described.

Samples of skin, tendons, muscles, and knitwear composed of NiTi wire are studied by uniaxial cyclic tension and stretching to rupture. The metal knitted mesh behaves similar to a superelastic material when stretched, similar to soft biological tissues. The superelasticity effect was found in NiTi wire, but not in the mesh composed of it.
