Recently, it has been suggested that CHCs may arise from hepatic progenitor cells that retain their potential to differentiate into the hepatocytic and biliary lineages (Libbrecht, 2006; Zhang et al, 2008).
Although adult cells, such as chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells, show fundamental biological differences compared to embryonic stem cells, including their limited potential to self-renew, they have been shown to be capable of greater plasticity than previously expected and to retain their potential to undergo chondrogenesis following considerable expansion in vitro [ 27, 41- 44].
