Hepatic Differentiation from Stem Cells
Embryonic stem (ES) cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a unique source for tissue regeneration. Recent observations indicate that several stem cells can differentiate into hepatocytes; thus, cell-based therapy is a potential alternative to liver transplantation (130). The goal of the present study was to examine the in vitro hepatic differentiation potential of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs).
