Abstract

Hepatocyte transplantation has been successful in many animal models of acute liver failure. In contrast, only few clinical attempts have been made, mainly because of the lack of a reliable source of liver cells. Transplantation of human stem or precursor cells may represent an alternative technique. Herein, we evaluated whether transplantation of Neo-Hepatocytes, i. e. hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from blood monocytes, could sustain function and recovery of fibrotic liver tissue. A single intrahepatic transplantation of Neo-Hepatocytes did not support liver function (urea and ammonia plasma levels) as well as liver recovery (aspartate aminotransferase plasma level) in case of CCl4-induced liver fibrosis.
