Extracellular microparticles derived from hepatic progenitor cells deliver a death signal to hepatoma-initiating cells

Abstract The malignant transformation of normal resident hepatic stem/progenitor cells has a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis and the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We defined such hepatic progenitor cells as hepatoma-initiating cells. An efficient strategy is required to target...
