The Liver – The Body’s Regeneration Machine The liver is the only internal organ capable of significant regeneration. Even if up to 75% of it is surgically removed or damaged, it can regrow to its original size within weeks. This happens because liver cells, called hepatocytes, rapidly multiply when needed. That’s why partial liver transplants work—both the donor’s and recipient’s livers grow back to full function. It’s nature’s built-in repair system for one of the body’s most essential organs.
