Synthetic biology and machine-learning can speed up maturation of lab-grown organ | Medical News

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have now merged synthetic biology with a machine-learning algorithm that can create human liver organoids with blood- and bile-handling systems. When these were implemented in mice who had liver failure, it extended their life span. The researchers used machine learning and genetic engineering techniques to grow the livers at a much faster pace compared to previous development.
