    High-Efficiency C-Myc-Mediated Induction of Functional Hepatoblasts from the Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells

    Researchers showed that c-Myc greatly improved the trans-differentiation efficiency for hepatoblast-like cells (HLCs) from human umbilical cord MSCs, which remained highly efficient in reprogramming fibroblasts into HLCs.
