Ductular hepatocytes are observed in the livers of both experimental animals and man under various conditions of severe toxin-, carcinogen- or viral-induced hepatic injury with prominent loss of parenchymal hepatocytes. These unique hepatic epithelial cells are characterized by phenotypic traits that are intermediate between those of hepatocytes and ...

The Efficacy of the Hepatocyte Spheroids for Hepatocyte Transplantation [PDF]
The safety and short-term efficacy of hepatocyte transplantation (HCTx) have been widely proven. However, issues such as reduced viability and/or function of hepatocytes, insufficient engraftment, and lack of a long-term effect have to be overcome for widespread application of HCTx. In this study, we evaluated hepatocyte spheroids (

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 ...

The developmental gene Chordin is amplified and expressed in human cancers
Chordin (CHRD) is a secreted protein important in early development, yet a role for CHRD in human disease has not been identified. In this study we investigated CHRD in cancer and normal adult tissues using the wealth of genome-wide data available in ...

Isolated Hepatocytes versus Hepatocyte Spheroids: In Vitro Culture of Rat Hepatocytes [PDF]
The use of hepatocytes that express liver-specific functions to develop an artificial liver is promising. Unfortunately, the loss of specialized liver functions (dedifferentiation) is still a major problem. Different techniques, such as collagen entrapment, spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids), and coculture of hepatocytes with extracellular ...

Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cell: Various Protocols for Isolation and Differentiation of Hepatocyte-Like Cells; Narrative Review [PDF]
There are several differentiation methods for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cell. Investigators reported various hepatic differentiation protocols such as modifying culturing conditions or using various growth factors/cytokines.
