unlike epithelial cells of the intestine or the skin, they escape detection in the quiescent liver. For this reason, potential stem cells in the adult liver have not yet been identified or isolated.

HHMI researchers solve a longstanding mystery about the origin of new cells in the liver. Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) scientists have identified stem cells in the liver that give rise to ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) once looked likely to avoid such attacks. However, recent studies have shown that some MSCs are more immunogenic than others. Liver-derived MSCs, such as Promethera ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

New research suggests restoring stellate cells to their healthy and protective state could simultaneously reduce liver scarring and improve liver function.

Then, they coaxed those stem cells to convert into islets. The team injected the equivalent of 1.5 million islets into the ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection ...

researchers in China say they have successfully treated a patient with late-stage type 2 diabetes using stem cell-derived islet cells transplanted into the liver. In 2021, The New York Times ...

Liver cells. Brain cells ... at fertility clinics and establishing the world's first human embryonic stem cell line, he and other scientists got a lot more than they bargained for.

they get diseases like liver failure, neurodegenerative diseases, things like that,” he said. “There's no Alzheimer's in the blood that's known, right?” Curious as to why that’s the case, Catic and ...

In summary, most of the experiments suggesting transdifferentiation of extrahepatic stem cells into ... including the liver. If the in vitro plasticity of MAP cells does not reflect a cell culture ...
