Stem cells are undifferentiated long-lived cells that are capable of many rounds of division.
Here we show that adult human liver cells can be derived from stem cells originating in the
bone marrow or circulating outside the liver, raising the possibility that blood-system stem
cells could be used clinically to generate hepatocytes for replacing damaged tissue.
