Hepatitis C Virus Infects and Perturbs Liver Stem Cells

2021-10-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the leading cause of death from liver disease. How HCV infection causes lasting liver damage and increases cancer risk beyond viral clearance remains unclear. We identify bipotent liver stem cells as novel targets for HCV infection, and their erroneous differentiation as the potential cause of impaired liver regeneration and cancer development. We show 3D organoids gene...
