Groundbreaking trial to grow ‘mini liver’ from patient’s own lymph node

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Pittsburgh biotech grows second liver in-body:


As per Nature, the experimental procedure was conducted in Houston on March 25. The report also states that the patient is “recovering well” after receiving the treatment. However, the formation of the new liver-like organ in the lymph node may take several months.

Moreover, the individual will be kept on immunosuppressive drugs to prevent any initial rejection of the donor cells.

The physicians will continue to monitor the patient’s health closely.
