Summary:
UK scientists have grown the first artificial human liver using stem cells from umbilical cords to produce a tiny version of the body's largest internal organ. Researchers believe the mini-liver could be used to test new drugs, ending the need for animal testing and clinical trials using human volunteers.
Commentary: Maybe this advancement will lead to safe and effective treatments for patients with liver diseases.
