## Abstract Bone marrowβderived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being explored for clinical applications, and genetic engineering represents a useful strategy for boosting the therapeutic potency of MSCs. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)βbased gene therapy protocols have been used to tre
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are expected to be a potential source of cells for transplantation. Although recent reports have shown that isolated MSCs can differentiate into hepatocytes, the efficiency of differentiation is insufficient for therapeutic application. To c
