Highly efficient and expedited hepatic differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells by pure small-molecule cocktails

Abstract Background The advent of human-induced pluripotent stem cells holds great promise for producing ample individualized hepatocytes. Although previous efforts have succeeded in generating hepatocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in vitro by viral-based expression of transcription factors...
