Hepatocyte transplantation [PDF]
Numerous laboratory studies have shown that hepatocyte transplantation may serve as an alternative to organ transplantation for patients with life-threatening liver disease. Because of the successes of experimental hepatocyte transplantation, institutions have attempted to use this therapy in the clinic for the treatment of a variety of hepatic ...

Hepatocytes: A key role in liver inflammation
Hepatocytes, the major parenchymal cells in the liver, are responsible for a variety of cellular functions including carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism, detoxification and immune cell activation to maintain liver homeotasis.

Liver homeostasis is maintained by midlobular zone 2 hepatocytes
Zoning in on liver growth For organ homeostasis or regrowth after injury or disease, one or more stem cell populations is needed to rebuild lost tissue. There is considerable debate about the source of new cells in the liver.

Comparison of human hepatoma HepaRG cells with human and rat hepatocytes in uptake transport assays in order to predict drug induced hepatotoxicity [PDF]
Human hepatocytes are the gold standard for toxicological studies but they have several drawbacks, like scarce availability, high inter-individual variability, a short lifetime, which limits their applicability.

A Quantitative Study on the Protective Effects of Resveratrol against Bisphenol A-induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats: A Stereological Study [PDF]
Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used chemical with toxic effects on the liver. Resveratrol (RES) is an herbal compound with protective properties. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of RES on the liver in rats exposed to BPA.

Hepatocyte Transplantation [PDF]
Hepatocyte transplantation (HTx) has been developed for use in liver-based metabolic disorders and in acute liver failure. Worldwide, there are around 80 patients that have been transplanted with hepatocytes. Almost all reported studies prove feasibility and safety of the procedure with short- to medium-term success.
