Abstract

Gaining insights into the biology of human stem cells and into the early embryonic development opens new avenues for generating tissue-specific cells from embryonic stem cells or other pluripotent stem cell sources. With respect to metabolic liver diseases, recent advances in understanding endodermal specification during gastrulation of the post-implantation embryo and in understanding the formation of the hepato-biliary system have strong impact on improved protocols to generate stem cell-derived hepatic cells. The landmark studies from Shinya Yamanaka and co-workers opened a new era in stem cell biology, by providing a technology that allows the generation of pluripotent stem cells from patients’ cells and, thus, allowing the generation of disease-specific stem cells. Taken together these two major advances in the field of stem cell biology, new approaches for studying metabolic liver diseases in correlation to individual patient’s symptoms are available, which provide a breakthrough in new drug target research or individual gene-therapeutic therapies.
