In Vitro Production of Functionally Mature Hepatocytes from Prospectively Isolated Hepatic Stem Cells

Hepatocyte transplantation and artificial organ hepatic support require a number of functionally mature hepatocytes. However, their growth activity and functional behaviors are much smaller in culture after isolation from the liver. We examined whether continuously differentiating hepatocytes from m...
