title: Cellular transplantation in the treatment of experimental hepatic failure.
abstract: The survival of Lewis rats with D-galactosamine-induced fulminant hepatic failure was prolonged if they were given intraperitoneal injections of single-cell suspensions of liver or bone marrow cells from normal rats. Suspensions of liver cells were also effective in prolonging the survival of rats with ischemia-induced hepatic necrosis. The liver cells did not act by repopulating the recipient liver.
