Stem cell-derived macrophages could treat liver fibrosis Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, when derived from embryonic stem cells in the laboratory reduce fibrosis in chronic liver disease. Lesley Forrester and colleagues from the University of Edinburgh found murine embryonic stem-cell-deriv...
