In this study, we report on recent advances on the functions of embryonic, fetal, and adult
stem cell progenitors for tissue regeneration and cancer therapies. We describe new …

Although basic research on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) at the laboratory bench
has progressed with enviable speed there has been little head way in terms of its clinical …

Transplantation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into immune-deficient mice leads to
the formation of differentiated tumors comprising all three germ layers, resembling …

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have enormous potential as a source of cells for cell
replacement therapies and as a model for early human development. In this study we …

Stem cell therapy offers tremendous promise in the treatment of many incurable diseases. A
variety of stem cell types are being studied but human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) appear …

Recent developments in the identification, in vitro culture and differentiation of stem cells
point to the unprecedented potential of these cells, or their derivatives, to cure degenerative …

We established an efficient system for differentiation, expansion and isolation of hepatic
progenitor cells from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and evaluated their capacity to …

This protocol describes a co-culture system for the in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic
stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells. Differentiation involves four steps:(i) formation of …

The liver has many crucial functions including metabolizing dietary molecules, detoxifying
compounds, and storing glycogen. The hepatocytes, comprising most of the liver organ …

The promise of liver stem cells lie in their potential to provide a continual and readily
available source of liver cells that can be used for gene therapy, cellular transplant …
