Skin Converted Into Liver Cells - Potential Cell-based Therapy For Patients With Liver And Other Diseases, University of Cambridge Study
(PhysOrg.com) -- By creating diseased liver cells from a small sample of human skin, scientists have for the first time shown that stem cells can be used to model a diverse range of inherited disorders. The University of Cambridge researchers' findings, which will hopefully lead to new treatments for those suffering from liver diseases, were published today in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
