Expansion and Hepatocytic Differentiation of Liver Progenitor Cells In Vivo Using a Vascularized Tissue Engineering Chamber in Mice
Current cell-based treatment alternatives to organ transplantation for liver failure remain unsatisfactory. Hepatocytes have a strong tendency to dedifferentiate and apoptose when isolated and maintained in culture. In contrast, liver progenitor cells (LPCs) are robust, easy to culture and have been...
