They said they were "gobsmacked" when liver buds, the earliest stage of the organ's development, formed spontaneously. The team, reporting their findings in Nature, hope that transplanting thousands of liver buds could reverse liver failure. Experts welcomed the findings, describing them as "exciting". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23158955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
