Curing liver disease with mini livers

About the research

Developing new drugs often requires a lot of animal testing. But what if we could develop drugs with fewer laboratory animals? That is what Lianne van Os (VUB) is doing. Based on 1 mouse liver, she makes some 600 mini-livers in the lab to test new drugs against liver disease.
