Treatment of fulminant liver failure by transplantation of microencapsulated primary or immortalized xenogeneic hepatocytes

Abstract:  Background:  The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo functions of isolated hepatocytes after immortalization, cryopreservation, encapsulation and xenotransplantation into mice with fulminant liver failure (FLF).
