title: Human Pluripotent Stem Cells: Myths and Future Realities for Liver Cell Therapy.
abstract: The severe shortage of organ donors for treating patients with liver disease has prompted in vitro efforts to produce the main functional cells of the liver: hepatocyte-like cells (Hep cells). We consider the key challenges posed by various stem cell technologies and liver pathologies for developing clinically useful Hep cells.
