Organizational Considerations for Review

Cell Sources Primary hepatocytes human adult livers (liver not transplantable, liver resections)
human fetal livers
healthy donor animals
Cell lines tumor derived (C3A, HepG2)
immortalized normal hepatocytes
Progenitor cells Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cells)
embryonic stem cells
fetal stem cells
adult stem cells (oval, mesenchymal stem cells, other)
Hepatocyte-like matured in vitro
matured in vivo
Other lymphocytes, etc.

Liver Abnormality Acute liver failure
Inherited metabolic liver disease
Hepatitis (alcoholic, viral)
Cirrhosis (cholestatic, other)
Liver cancer (hepatocellular, cholangiocarcinoma)
Recurrent disease after transplantation
Rejection after transplantation
