Bridging patients with acute liver failure relies on the organ's natural regenerative capacity.

“so one of the obvious um kind of conjectures well what if well then we need a physiologic solution to this could we um support patients particularly patients with acute liver failure where the injury is acute and the liver is this incredible organ in that it does have this regenerative capacity hepatocytes will replenish over time so the thinking was well if someone comes in with a tylenol overdose or an acute viral toxicity to their liver could we just bridge them long enough until those new hepatocytes start to come into play”
