Instant Hepatic Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells Using Activin a and a Deleted Variant of HGF

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells have the ability to differentiate into a variety of different cell lineages and potentially provide a source of differentiated cells for many therapeutic uses. Here we investigated an efficient method of hepatic differentiation from hES cells. A human ES cell line, K...
