🧬 Injectable "Mini-Livers" from MIT
Researchers from MIT have developed a "mini-liver" technology to treat chronic diseases. The method involves injecting hepatocytes encapsulated in hydrogel microspheres, which behave like a liquid during injection but regain a solid structure once inside the body.
🌍 The technology offers a scalable alternative to transplantation, reducing the need for immediate searches for donor organs.
👤 Instead of complex surgery, future treatments could be administered via simple injections.
