Human Stem Cell Derived Liver Cells for Disease Modeling and Whole Organ Engineering KU Leuven
The vital blood system in mammals is continuously regenerated throughout life by a process called hematopoiesis. In hematopoiesis, a stem cell population called hematopoietic stem cells (HSC’s) undergo differentiation and produce specialized mature blood cells including red blood cells, megakaryocytes and myeloid cells. Even a small failure in this process can result in hematological disorders such as anemia and leukemia. Transplantation of ...
