Hepatic Endoderm Differentiation from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
15 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Primary human hepatocytes are a scarce resource with variable function which diminishes with time in culture. As a consequence their use in tissue modelling and therapy is restricted. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) could provide a stable source of human tissue due to their properties of self-renewal and their ability to give rise to all three germ layers. hESCs have the potential to provide an unlimited supply...
