 What I think it's amazing from the liver tissue is that you can actually cut up to 70% in it and the remaining 30% will regrow to the original volume Understanding how this process is being done is one of the main interests of my lab So if we understand the process well Then we will be able to understand what happens when things go wrong and then maybe identify Targets for helping people with either liver cancer or liver disease in general We can recapitulate the liver function ex vivo in a petri dish in what we call liver organoids We use this liver organoid model and try to understand questions on how this mechanism of regeneration is happening in humans One of my postdocs Laura, she came to me and said oh Mary I think we have a good model for liver cancer and then seeing that this technology could be transferred to also study disease and I could open avenues for Personalized medicine that was really very proud and very happy moment
