Asahina and colleagues 1 have to be congratulated for the very interesting data and for the enormous amount of work they spent to strengthen their conclusions. The authors demonstrate that fetal mouse liver contains at least three populations of mesenchymal cells. (A) The mesothelial cells which ar

This study examined whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are stem cells originated from embryonic mesoderm, are able to differentiate into functional hepatocyte-like cells in vitro. MSCs were isolated from human bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, and the surface phenotype and the mesoderm
Previously, we reported a system to enrich mouse fetal hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) by forming cell aggregates. In this study, we sorted two cell populations, CD49f Ψ Thy1 Ψ CD45 Ψ cells (CD49f-postive cells) and CD49f Ψ Thy1 Ψ CD45 Ψ cells (Thy1-positive cells), from the cell aggregates using a
We investigated the pathogenesis of septic liver injury in rats caused by cecal ligation and puncture. In this model, numerous neutrophils accumulated in the liver in parallel with the development of liver dysfunction. The supernatants of hepatic macrophages isolatedfrom these septic rats 24 hr afte
## Abstract Over 70% of patients with advanced breast cancer will develop bone metastases for which there is no cure. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and their derivative osteoblasts are subpopulations of cells within the bone marrow environment, postulated as potential interacting targets for dissem
