A role of Wnt/β-catenin signals in hepatic fate specification of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells
21 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCBMSCs) are expected to be an excellent source of cells for transplantation. In addition, the stem cell plasticity of human UCBMSCs, which can transdifferentiate into hepatocytes, has been reported. However, the mechanisms involved remain to be clarified. To identify the genes and/or signals that are important in specifying the hepatic fate of human...
