Bioengineered Liver (IMAGE) Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Caption This bright-field microscopic image shows a three-day-old human liver organoid grown by scientists who report research results in Nature. The tiny liver -- suspended in solution inside an under-lit petri dish well -- is about 10mm wide. Generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), the miniature organs are being developed for their potential to study and treat liver disease.
