Abstract:
Hepatocyte transplantation has recently become an efficient clinical method in the treatment of patients with metabolic liver diseases. The shortage of donor cells remains an obstacle to treat more patients. Foetal liver tissues may therefore be useful as an alternative source of generating functional hepatocytes after in vitro culture and maturation.
