Hepatocyte-like cells

Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) are derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in vitro, but differentiation protocols commonly give rise to a heterogeneous mixture of cells. This variability confounds the evaluation of in vitro functional assays performed using HLCs. We demonstrate the purification of a sub-population of functional HLCs differentiated from multiple hPSC lines using the hepatocyte surface marker Asialoglycoprotein Receptor 1 (ASGR1).
