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...

Although previous attempts to induce hepatic specification from hPSCs yielded cells possessing some hepatic features,
