Persistence of a chimerical phenotype after hepatocyte differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
16 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have suggested the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into a hepatocyte-like lineage. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of hepatocyte differentiation of MSCs by studying acquisition of hepatocyte-like features together with alteration of the native mesenchymal phenotype. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In vitro, we have investigated protein and mRNA level expression of...
