Human liver disease: study of the hepatic stem cells and their niche and development of novel model systems
this project wishes to shed more light on the role of the hepatic stem cell in the genesis and evolution of a series of liver diseases such as liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), liver cirrhosis, liver steatosis, and chronic infections of the liver caused by hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). In addition the IUAP consortium wishes to develop novel in vivo and in vitro models to studies these aforementioned liver diseases.
