Tiny functioning human livers have been grown from stem cells in the laboratory by scientists in Japan.
They said they were “gobsmacked” when liver buds, the earliest stage of the organ’s development, formed spontaneously.
The team, reporting their findings in Nature, hope that transplanting thousands of liver buds could reverse liver failure.
Experts welcomed the findings, describing them as “exciting”.
Scientists around the world are trying to grow organs in the lab to overcome a shortage of organ donors.
Some patients already have bladders made from their own cells, but dense solid organs such as the liver and kidneys are much harder to produce.

Athletes who overdo may be at risk for a condition called rhabdomyolysis, which can even be fatal.
When it comes to exercise, most people think the harder you train, the better results you’ll get. But athletes who overexert themselves can end up with a life-threatening condition called rhabdomyolysis, known in fitness circles as “rhabdo.”
Steve Hanson, a 31-year-old former Corporal in the Army rangers who is stationed in Afghanistan and works for the federal government as diplomatic security, developed rhabdomyolysis it when he overworked his body while training for races that lasted up to 12 hours.
“I was concurrently training for endurance races that involved biking, kayaking and running,” Hanson said via email. “I was training six days a week, and the one day off apparently wasn’t enough.”
The pain from the rhabdo was so excruciating that he initially thought he had broken his back.
“I was in terrible pain,” he said. “I was convinced my spine was fractured at the very least. I didn’t know at the time that it was my kidneys shutting down. On top of that, my feeling of well-being was at an all-time low. I felt extremely depressed, which only amplified the pain.”

Keeping your kidneys healthy could be one of the best ways to extend your life if you have Type 2 diabetes, researchers have suggested.
The University of Washington study found that having kidney disease meant a much higher risk of early death.
UK experts say that the NHS is still not putting enough effort into detecting and controlling kidney problems caused by diabetes.
