    Human mesenchymal stem cell-engineered hepatic cell sheets accelerate liver regeneration in mice

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for cell therapy. Based on our hypothesis that suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signal enhances hepatic differentiation of human MSCs, we developed human...
