Differentiation of pancreatic epithelial progenitor cells into hepatocytes following transplantation into rat liver
8 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
The ability to identify, isolate, and transplant progenitor cells from solid tissues would greatly facilitate the treatment of diseases currently requiring whole organ transplantation. In this study, cell fractions enriched in candidate epithelial progenitor cells from the rat pancreas were isolated and transplanted into the liver of an inbred strain of Fischer rats. Using a dipeptidyl dipeptidase IV genetic...
