β¦ Synopsis
epatocyte transplantation has the potential to H play an important role in specific hepatic disease states such as inborn errors of metabolism and acute hepatic failure. Although considerable progress has been made in the development of hepatocyte transplantation as a viable clinical entity, it has been overshadowed by enormous advances in the field of solid organ liver transplantation and temporary support of human acute hepatic failure. This review will chart progress made in the field of experimental and clinical hepatocyte transplantation.
