HEPATOCYTES AND CHONDROCYTES FROM ADHERENT PLACENTAL STEM CELLS; AND CD34+, CD45- PLACENTAL STEM CELL-ENRICHED CELL POPULATIONS.

摘要

Provided herein are methods and compositions for the production of hepatocytes from placenta stem cells. Further provided herein is the use of such hepatocytes in the treatment of, and intervention in, for example, trauma, inflammation, and degenerative disorders of the liver. Also provided herein are compositions and methods relating to combinations of nanofibrous scaffolds and adherent placental stem cells and methods of using the same in cartilage repair. Finally, provided herein are compositions and methods relating to nonadherent, CD34+CD45- stem cells from placenta.
