Assignee Kyoto University
Title of Invention Method for producing hepatocytes
Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing hepatocytes, hepatocytes produced by the method, and uses of the hepatocytes.

Comments

The invention makes it possible to produce hepatocytes with excellent albumin-producing ability in vitro. Because cells produced in this way can have properties closer to those of in vivo hepatocytes, they are expected to be useful for hepatocyte transplantation. It is expected to be useful for cells used in regenerative medicine and various drug discovery tests.
