Scientists have used a technique to grow bile duct organoidsoften referred to as ‘mini-organs’ – in the lab and shown that these can be used to repair damaged human livers. This is the first time that the technique has been used on human organs.
The research paves the way for cell therapies to treat liver diseasein other words, growing ‘mini-bile ducts’ in the lab as replacement parts that can be used to restore a patient’s own liver to healthor to repair damaged organ donor livers, so that they…
