HGF/R-spondin1 rescues liver dysfunction through the induction of Lgr5+ liver stem cells

Organ regeneration by transplantation of ESC/iPSC-derived tissues is a promising but still challenging approach. Here Lin et al. show that liver damage caused by a chemical insult induces not only fibrosis but also Lgr5+ cell expansion that can be further promoted by treatment with HGF/R-spondin1.
