Iranians make liver tissue from stem cells, no it hasn’t been successfully done before

Our clever clog Iranian scientists have successfully made liver tissue from stem cells, what this means is that they can now convert bone marrow stem cells into healthy liver cells. Study team leader Somayyeh Kazem Nejad says that “Patients with acute liver failure need liver transplants. There had been many attempts at converting stem cells into liver cells in the past but they all failed because of using a two-dimensional structure for stem cell growth.” Sounds good doesn’t it, well it’s not good news, it’s great news. The scientists are optimistic that this study will help patients suffering from acute liver failure.
