Instant hepatic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells using activin A and a deleted variant of HGF.

abstract：:Currently, different techniques to expand human hepatocytes in vitro are being investigated to generate enough cells for liver-directed cell therapies. However, based on observations in fibroblasts and other cell types, telomere attrition limits the proliferative capacity of normal somatic cells. Therefore, we explore...
