how do livers grow back but can’t repair themselves after damaging them ?
In: Biology
When damage to our tissues is too severe to be done “right”, the body rushes to fix the mess.
It rushes which creates scar tissue (basically half-assed tissue) which prevents further damage (I.e, bleeding to death). This tissue does NOT function correctly. Get too much of it in place of regular liver tissue and you really don’t have a liver anymore.
