PURIFICATION OF HEPATIC STEM CELLS

我们正在扩大我们的初步结果肝干细胞 通过使用多参数流式细胞术分析进行纯化， 细胞分选系统该系统用于表征和纯化 从烯丙基处理的大鼠中获得的活肝干细胞 酒精 这些细胞将提供强大的实践和概念 解决肝脏器官形成、功能和 致癌作用 从这项工作中获得的知识将有助于 人类肝脏组织的类似研究。 肝干细胞可能 也是调节多细胞生物反应器的关键组分。 这些设备将为急性或慢性肝病患者提供肝功能。 慢性肝功能衰竭

We are extending our preliminary results of hepatic stem cell purification by using the multiparameter flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting system The system is used to characterize and purify viable hepatic stem cells obtained from rats treated with allyl alcohol. These cells will provide powerful practical and conceptual tools to solve problems of liver organogenesis, function and carcinogenesis. Knowledge gained from this work will facilitate similar studies with human liver tissue. Hepatic stem cells might also serve as key components of regulated multicellular bioreactors. These devices will provide liver function for patients with acute or chronic liver failure.
