Abstract:
Hepatocyte transplantation is effective in the treatment of liver failure caused by a variety of factors.In pace with the progress of the study of induced pluripotent stem cells and its differentiation technology,a new method has arisen to obtain a great number of safe hepatocytes with biological function,which are suitable for seed cells of hepatocyte transplantation.In this article,we review the latest research progress about induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes being transplanted to treat liver failure.
