Liver Stem Cell

摘要

Primary liver cells (hepatocytes) are the liver’s chief functional cells that perform most of the liver’s complex metabolic tasks. It is possible to grow hepatocytes that could provide significant biomedical advantages, including cell therapy, and the liver stem cells are good candidate. For the patients suffering from liver cancer, the liver stem cells could be safe and credible source of liver cells as an alternative to liver transplant. Growing liver cells form liver stem cells could also be useful in detecting safe drug screening methods. Stem cell therapy is already a popular intervention for treating blood and immune system conditions, as well as numerous skin diseases. It involves a careful medical procedure of introducing adult cells that are grown from early cells or stem cells, into damaged tissues. L iver stem cells are the precursors for a subset of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma.
