Stem Cells With Potential To Regenerate Injured Liver Tissue Identified

A novel protein marker has been found that identifies rare adult liver stem cells, whose ability to regenerate injured liver tissue has the potential for cell-replacement therapy. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that cells expressing the marker can differentiate into both liver cells and cells that line the bile duct.
