Promotion of the efficient metabolic maturation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes by correcting specification defects
Promoting the functional maturation of the desired cell types derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) remains a major challenge, especially for hepatocytes, as routine access to metabolically functional hepatocytes would enable their use in drug toxicity screening. Although previous attemp...
