The team of Liu et al. generated endoderm-derived human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from primary hepatocytes. 1 However, they generated human iPS cells by using viral transgenes. 1 Clinical applications of human iPS cells require avoiding viral transgenes. On the other hand, the reprogrammi
To elucidate the risk factors for liver carcinogenesis and to examine the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after interferon therapy, 1,022 chronic hepatitis C patients treated with interferon were followed by ultrasonography for 13 to 97 months (median 36 months). Sustained response with
