Abstract: The invention relates to cell-free compositions obtained by culturing adult-derived human liver stem/progenitor cells (ADHLSC) in cell culture medium and isolating the resulting conditioned medium (ADHLSC-CM) that has advantageous properties, such as anti-fibrotic effects. ADHLSC-CM, compositions based on ADHLSC-CM, and other related and derived products, can be used in cell culture processes or as a medicament, more particularly for the treatment of diseases involving organ injury, organ failure, in organ or cell transplantation or the pathological disruption, inflammation, degeneration, and/or proliferation of cells within a tissue or an organ, in particular within liver.

Abstract: The current invention concerns liver progenitor or stem cells, lysates thereof, and/or conditioned medium obtainable by culturing liver progenitor or stem cells in said medium for use in the treatment of diseases and/or conditions caused by increased vascular permeability or for use in restoring the vascular integrity of cells and tissues in a subject following inflammation and/or infection in said subject. More particularly, the present invention relates to liver progenitor or stem cells or conditioned medium obtainable by culturing liver progenitor or stem cells in said medium for therapeutic use in sepsis and sepsis-induced diseases, such as myocardial edema, acute kidney injury and lung sepsis.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising adult human liver- derived progenitor cells, such as heterologous human adult liver-derived progenitor cells (HALPC), for the treatment of a patient having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), such as non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or wherein the patient is at risk of developing NASH. The treatment comprises a step of administering to said patient an amount of said composition which comprises a dose of 0.25 to 2.5 million said progenitor cells per kg body weight; wherein the composition is substantially free of an effective amount of an anticoagulant, and wherein the patient does not receive any co-treatment with an anticoagulant.

Abstract: Novel adult liver progenitor cells (called H2Stem Cells) have been have been characterized on the basis of a series of biological activities and markers. Methods for producing H2Stem Cells allow providing such cells in the form of adherent cells and three-dimensional cell clusters in suspension that can be differentiated into cells having strong liver-specific activities and/or that can be used for treating liver diseases or for evaluating the efficacy, the metabolism, and/or toxicity of a compound.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising human adult liver-derived progenitor cells, such as heterologous human adult liver-derived progenitor cells (HALPC), for the treatment of a patient who has developed acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) or is at risk of developing ACLF, wherein the treatment comprises a step of administering to said patient an amount of said composition which comprises a dose of 0.25 to 2.5 million said progenitor cells per kg body weight; wherein the composition is substantially free of an effective amount of an anticoagulant, and wherein the patient does not receive any co-treatment with an anticoagulant.

Abstract: The current invention concerns isolated liver progenitor cells, cell lines thereof, cell populations comprising such and compositions comprising such wherein the liver progenitor cells are HLA-E positive. In addition, the invention concerns methods of preparing these liver progenitor cells.
