3d Liver Cell

The tissues, made of human cells, would allow for inexpensive medical research, and could eventually be used for liver transplants.

The chip-based model produces a faithful mimic of the in vivo liver inside a scalable fluid-handling device, the study said.

Scientists have created a device with a series of three dimensional cells within it that mimic the activities of a liver, thereby opening up its potential use in drug testing and personalised medicine.
