	Hepatocyte lineage cells derived from pluripotent stem cells - Patent 6458589
		Another embodiment of the invention is a differentiated cell having characteristics of a cell of the hepatocyte lineage, which is either harvested from a differentiated cell population of this invention, or is the progeny of a cell harvested from such a population.
		The terms "hepatocyte lineage" cell, "hepatoblastoid" cell and "hepatoembryoid" cell may be used in reference to the differentiated cells of this invention, obtained by differentiating pluripotent cells in the manner described.
		In particular embodiments of this invention, the hepatocyte differentiation agent and the hepatocyte maturation factor are used simultaneously or sequentially.

	Increased Rates of Liver Cell Death in HCV/HIV Coinfection
		Fas-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
		In addition, the irreversible apoptosis of hepatocytes, as assessed by staining of caspase-cleaved cytokeratin 18 filaments, was independently related to the expression of Fas on hepatocytes.
		Fas-stained hepatocytes distributed diffusely were more frequently found in older patients, those with a longer duration of HCV infection, those with lower CD4+ cell nadirs, and those with liver fibrosis.
