Abstract | With the ongoing shortage of livers available for transplantation, attention has turned to cell-based approaches to support liver function and enable liver regeneration. However, hepatocyte transplantation is beset with problems and a clinically adoptable strategy is lacking. How can a plentiful supply of hepatocyte-like cells with long-term proliferation be generated? |
