## Abstract There is increasing evidence that human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can be a valuable, transplantable source of hepatocytes. Most of the hMSCs preparations used in these studies were likely heterogeneous cell populations, isolated by adherence to plastic surfaces or by density gradie

## Abstract Differentiation of stem cells is tightly regulated by the microenvironment which is mainly composed of nonparenchymal cells. Herein, we investigated effect of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in different states on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation. Rat HSCs were isolated and s
While fetal liver is a major hematopoietic organ, normal adult liver provides a suitable microenvironment for a variety of immune cells and, in several pathological conditions, may become a site of extramedullary hematopoiesis. The direct influence of hepatocytes on hematopoietic cell differentiatio
