Not quite an infinite liver hack #shorts #throwbackthursday #science #scishow

The video explains liver regeneration, highlighting that a liver can regrow in about a year. If 30% of a liver is received from a donor, it can regenerate into a full-sized organ. The process involves liver cells receiving signals to grow and multiply. However, regrown livers differ in structure from original ones because they use mature cells instead of stem cells. While regrown livers function, they are not suitable for donation due to compatibility issues with original liver tissue.

Why might a regrown liver not have the same shape and structure as a new liver?

What is the main reason a donated regrown liver might not cooperate with the original liver tissue?
