Abstract excerpt
Tissue-derived stem cells may offer future liver disease therapies. The developing human liver provides an excellent model to examine normal hepatic progenitor cell maturation, but candidate populations are poorly characterized. We sought to identify putative progenitor phenotypes in first-trimester human liver, by characterizing the architectural relationship between developing epithelial, mesenchymal, and...
