Isolation and Transcriptional Profiling of Purified Hepatic Cells Derived from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
5 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into functional hepatocytes provides a powerful in vitro model system for studying the molecular mechanisms governing liver development. Furthermore, a well-characterized renewable supply of hepatocytes differentiated from hESCs could be used for in vitro assays of drug metabolism and toxicology, screening of potential antiviral agents, and cell-based...
