## Abstract There is increasing evidence to suggest that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are capable of differentiating into hepatocytes in vitro. In this study, we used a combination of cytokines and sodium butyrate in a novel threeβstep procedure to efficiently direct the differentiation of mouse ESC

## Abstract Recently it was shown that embryonic stem (ES) cells could differentiate into hepatocytes both in vitro and in vivo, however, prospective hepatic progenitor cells have not yet been isolated and characterized from ES cells. Here we presented a novel 4βstep procedure for the differentiati
## Abstract Recently significant progress has been made in differentiating embryonic stem (ES) cells toward pancreatic cells. However, little is known about the generation and identification of pancreatic progenitor cells from ES cells. Here we explored the influence of sodium butyrate on pancreati
Orthotropic liver transplantation is the only established treatment for end-stage liver diseases. Utilization of hepatocyte transplantation and bio-artificial liver devices as alternative therapeutic approaches requires an unlimited source of hepatocytes. Stem cells, especially embryonic stem cells,
