Contribution of Resident Stem Cells to Liver and Biliary Tree Regeneration in Human Diseases

Contribution of Resident Stem Cells to Liver and Biliary Tree Regeneration in Human Diseases

Two distinct stem/progenitor cell populations of biliary origin have been identified in the adult liver and biliary tree. Hepatic Stem/progenitor Cells (HpSCs) are bipotent progenitor cells located within the canals of Hering and can be differentiated into mature hepatocytes and cholangiocytes; Bili...
