  Liver and Kidney Program 
  Mission The mission of the Liver and Kidney Program at Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute is to develop: Stem cell-based regeneration approaches for the treatment of hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disorders Treatments for diabetes mellitus that will also benefit patients with other types of diabetes 
  Focus of Liver Research Generation of natural scaffold for engineering whole liver organ in a dish. The liver is the second most commonly transplanted organ in the United States.

However, there are an estimated 16,500 people awaiting a liver transplant at any given time and only 3,000 available organs. Most liver damage is due to the hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Regenerative Medicine liver researchers can generate functional liver cells from pluripotent stem cells, including iPSCs. The human stem cell-derived hepatic cells have been shown to extend the survival of mice with liver damage and do not produce any adverse events, including teratoma formation.

Through an interdisciplinary collaboration, liver research investigators have also developed a robust methodology to improve gene engineering in stem cells, which provides the option of generating disease-specific therapeutic stem cell lines. Finally, liver research investigators are partnering with industry to assess leading-edge technology using scaffolding to generate artificial livers.
