Cellular regeneration therapy restores damaged liver tissue faster

Liver cells were partially reprogrammed into younger cells (red) using Yamanaka factors (white).

Now, Salk scientists have found a way to partially reset liver cells to more youthful states—allowing them to heal damaged tissue at a faster rate than previously observed. The results, published in Cell Reports on April 26, 2022, reveal that the use of reprogramming molecules can improve cell growth, leading to better liver tissue regeneration in mice.
