Groundbreaking research conducted at MIT has found a way of growing liver cells in a lab dish, capable of producing new liver tissue.
we know liver cells are capable of growing, but somehow we can’t get them to grow”.
managed to find a way to make liver cells function normally in a lab dish and multiply to create new tissue.

The researchers were able to identify 12 compounds that helped maintain those functions
stem cells
What are iPSCs?
The team hopes that these compounds could influence other types of cells as well and become the basis for a “universal maturation program”.
It’s imperative to build blood vessels to keep the tissues alive.
adult stem cells could solve this problem.Tissue Engineering Part A
Proceedings of the National Academy of Scienceswhen preformed cords of endothelial cells are placed into the liver tissue they eventually develop into blood vessels.
