In Vitro Expansion of Human Hepatocytes is Restricted by Telomere-Dependent Replicative Aging
Currently, different techniques to expand human hepatocytes in vitro are being investigated to generate enough cells for liver-directed cell therapies. However, based on observations in fibroblasts and other cell types, telomere attrition limits the proliferative capacity of normal somatic cells. Th...
