摘要: For the purpose of applying fetal liver cells (FLCs) as a cell source to tissue-engineered bioartificial livers, three-dimensional (3-D) cultures FLCs using porous polymer scaffold, well monolayer control, were simultaneously performed. To achieve efficient growth and differentiation, cultured in medium for first 3 weeks then differentiation more weeks. In these cultures, stimulating factors (oncostatin M (OSM), epidermal factor (EGF), hepatocyte (HGF), or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) added media, their effects examined. When containing OSM EGF was used, stimulated synergistically with OSM. into mature hepatocytes, DMSO remarkably enhanced albumin secretion 3-D although HGF effective only culture. Microscopic observati...
