## Abstract The liver has many crucial functions including metabolizing dietary molecules, detoxifying compounds, and storing glycogen. The hepatocytes, comprising most of the liver organ, progressively modify their gene expression profile during the fetal development according to their roles in th

## Abstract Radial glial cells play important roles in neural development. They provide support and guidance for neuronal migration and give rise to neurons and glia. In vitro, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes can be generated from neural and embryonic stem cells, but the generation of rad
## Abstract Embryonic stem cells serve as a promising technology to obtain specific cell types for a number of biomedical applications. Because traditional techniques, such as embryoid body formation result in a wide array of differentiated cells such as hepatic, neuronal, and cardiac lineages, str
## Abstract Diseases that affect endodermally derived organs such as the lungs, liver, and pancreas include cystic fibrosis, chronic hepatitis, and diabetes, respectively. Despite the prevalence of these diseases, cures remain elusive. While several promising transplantationβbased therapies exist f
