Regeneration of Liver

The liver is a vital organ and has the ability to repair itself. However, it may lose this ability, for instance in case of injury or drug overdoses. A liver transplant is then often the only chance of survival for a patient. Now it has been found out that a cancer drug has the potential to restore the regeneration capability of the liver. This may make some liver transplants unnecessary.
