Coming Soon: Pharmaceutical Testing On Mice With Human-Like Livers

Researchers at MIT have figured out how to grow “humanized” livers inside of mice–so the little critters could soon accurately predict how our livers will respond to drugs. Mice are a boon to biomedical research; they can often predict how humans will react to certain conditions, and not too many people get upset if they die from an overdose of toxic chemicals. But mice aren’t as useful in pharmaceutical research because their livers react to drugs differently than human livers
