IL6 supports long-term expansion of hepatocytes in vitro
Hepatocytes are very difficult to expand in vitro. Here the authors discover that IL6 promotes long-term expansion (>30 passages) of primary mouse hepatocytes in vitro by converting the cells into hepatic progenitor cells, which maintain full capacity of
