#40 Ludovic Vallier: Unlocking the Secrets of Liver Regeneration

The human liver has an extraordinary ability to regenerate – a
phenomenon that was even described in Greek mythology. But what
happens when these self-healing powers aren't enough for patients
with chronic liver diseases? In this episode of #AskDifferent, we
dive into groundbreaking research on liver regeneration with stem
cell expert Ludovic Vallier from the Berlin Institute of Health.
Vallier and his team are developing innovative organoid
models—miniature livers grown from stem cells—that could
revolutionize treatments and drug testing. Tune in to explore the
science behind liver regeneration and the future of medical
breakthroughs.
