摘要: Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are similar to embryonic (ES) cells, and can proliferate intensively differentiate into a variety of cell types. However, the hepatic differentiation human iPS has not yet been reported. In this report, were by stepwise protocol. The expression liver markers liver-related functions cell-derived monitored compared with that differentiated ES primary hepatocytes. Approximately 60% at day 7 expressed alpha fetoprotein Alb. 21 exhibited including albumin Asecretion, glycogen synthesis, urea production inducible cytochrome P450 activity. comparable cells. These results show which be efficiently hepatocyte-like
