Functional "Mini-liver" Created by 3D Bioprinting
Using human blood cells, researchers have succeeded in obtaining “mini-livers” that perform all of the liver’s typical functions, such as producing vital proteins, storing vitamins, and secreting bile, among many others. The innovation permits the production of hepatic tissue in the laboratory in only 90 days and may in the future become an alternative to organ transplantation.
