Characterization of type I interferon pathway during hepatic differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells and hepatitis C virus infection
15 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
Pluripotent stem cells are being actively studied as a cell source for regenerating damaged liver. For long-term survival of engrafting cells in the body, not only do the cells have to execute liver-specific function but also withstand the physical strains and invading pathogens. The cellular innate immune system orchestrated by the interferon (IFN) pathway provides the first line of defense against pathogens....
