Co-culture of hepatocytes with mesenchymal stem cells for cellular therapy in liver disease

A major hurdle facing current hepatocyte transplantation practice is the marginal quality of isolated hepatocytes. Previous studies showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could maintain morphology and improve liver-specific metabolism of co-cultured hepatocytes. The present work aimed to optimise...
