The Liver Can Regrow Even After Major Damage
The liver is the only internal organ that can fully regenerate, even if up to 75% of it is removed.
- Surgeons often remove part of a liver for transplants, and within a few months, it can regrow back to normal size.
- Ancient Greeks knew about this — the myth of Prometheus being punished by having his liver eaten daily by an eagle is based on this regenerative fact.
