Researchers have engineered a chimeric protein that increases cell survival, migration and proliferation to improve stem cell engraftment. The results show that TAT-Tpr-Met, a cell permeable form of the hepatocyte growth factor receptor can increase the number of hepatic stem cells integrated into the liver of the mouse.
