Fetal-hepatocyte-derived culture medium elicits adipocyte differentiation into bile-duct-cell lineage in mouse (Biomedical Reports, 2016 )

In collaboration with the Department of Surgery, Osaka University (Profs. Masaki Mori and Yuichiro Doki), Ogawa et al.  studied fetal tissues of mouse and showed that fetal-hepatocyte-derived factors elicit the differentiation to bile-duct-cell lineages, suggesting that fetal cells possess multiple potentials that are absent in adults.
