Efficient Differentiation of Functional Hepatocytes from Human Embryonic Stem Cells | February 21st, 2008

By: Sadhana Agarwal, Katherine L. Holton, Robert Lanza
Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to specific functional cell types can be achieved using methods that mimic in vivo embryonic developmental programs. Current protocols for generating hepatocytes from hESCs are hampered by inefficient differentiation procedures that lead to low yields and large cellular heterogeneity. We […]
