The concept of organs on a chip opens the possibility of realistically studying human organs without the use of patients or animal testing

When the Hippo pathway is inactivated, mature liver cells revert back to a stem cell-like state. Picture shows a group of cells transitioning from a mature cell type (green) to a stem cell type (red). White cells are the cells where Hippo is being inactivated.
