In Vitro Expansion of Human Hepatocytes is Restricted by Telomere-Dependent Replicative Aging
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
Currently, different techniques to expand human hepatocytes in vitro are being investigated to generate enough cells for liver-directed cell therapies. However, based on observations in fibroblasts and other cell types, telomere attrition limits the proliferative capacity of normal somatic cells. Therefore, we explored whether telomere-dependent replicative aging restricts the in vitro proliferation of human...
