Artificial liver cells " Born " Hepatopathy of helping hand is studied
London, August 25 (Xinhua) ' The reporter is yellow) British Cambridge University releases the communique and says, the researchers of this school succeed in utilizing the hepatopathy patient's skin cells to cultivate liver cells on the 25th, the cells in liver cell and patient's liver got like this are highly similar, will contribute to carrying on research to the particular hepatopathy patient and treating. The communique says, researchers have drawn skin cells from 7 patients with hereditary liver disease on one's body, change it into inducing the multi-functional stem cell first, then foster into liver cells. Induce multi-functional stem cell's technology to be an item of great research results of the Japan-American scientist's in 2007, it can carry on the transformation to skin cells, makes it have function similar to stem cell. This research reveals, it is highly similar to utilize the cells on the physiological characteristic and in patient's liver of liver cell that this kind of method gets, so can be used for testing various medicines, and then treat the patient after the ones that test are effective. Researcher Thaimil and Rashad says, it is very difficult to train liver cells directly in the past, donation liver that can be used in studying is less too, this research results are offered a kind of effective substituting means, will contribute to the study on hepatopathy and therapeutic. The research report is issued on a new " clinical research magazine ".
