How can we apply liver regeneration from mouse models to human?

Our recent identification of hybrid periportal hepatocytes (HybHP) have shown an important role in the regeneration of the damaged liver in mouse. These findings form the basis of our next goal, which is to translate these results from our mouse models into human cell therapy. To achieve this, we are applying single cell sequencing to human liver in order to characterize human hybrid hepatocytes.
