Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an attractive cell type for research and therapy
due to their ability to proliferate, differentiate, modulate immune reactions, and secrete …

During foetal life, the liver plays the important roles of connection and transient
hematopoietic function. Foetal liver cells develop in an environment called a hematopoietic …

Chronic liver diseases constitute a significant economic, social, and biomedical burden.
Among commonly adopted approaches, only organ transplantation can radically help …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate toward epithelial cells and may be used
as an alternative source for generation of heterotypical artificial human skin substitutes, thus …

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I genes are ubiquitously expressed, but in a tissue
specific‐manner. Their expression is primarily regulated at the transcriptional level and can …

Background & Aims Human biliary tree stem/progenitor cells (hBTSCs) are multipotent
epithelial stem cells, easily obtained from the biliary tree, with the potential for regenerative …

Liver regeneration (LR) is a set of complicated mechanisms between cells and molecules in
which the processes of initiation, maintenance, and termination of liver repair are regulated …

Toxic, viral and surgical injuries can pose medical indications for liver transplantation. The
number of patients waiting for a liver transplant still increases, but the number of organ …

The fetal liver is unique because of the coexistence of cells with endodermal and
mesenchymal origins, making it a potential source of hepatic and pancreatic regenerative …

Regenerative medicine is a novel scientific field that employs the use of stem cells as cell-
