Eliminating these constraints,
hepatocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells provide an unlimited supply of functional hepatocytes from each parental cell line, which can be derived noninvasively from a diseased or healthy person.
HNF4α immunostaining showed over 90 % of
hepatocytes differentiated with our protocol expressed HNF4α (Asplund et al. 2016).
Quantification of HNF4α immunostainings showed that over 90 % of hiPS cell - derived
hepatocytes differentiated using our protocol express HNF4α [4].
Human iPS cell - derived
hepatocytes differentiated with our robust differentiation protocol and cultured using a novel maintenance medium provide an inexhaustible, consistent supply of functional hepatocytes that can be used to advance the understanding of diseases related to dysfunction in liver metabolism, including NAFLD / NASH, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
