Differentiation of NAD BMMC into hepatocyte-like cells, other than MSC and monocytes.
Expression of hepatocyte genes and proteins occurred after 24 h of co-culture.
Only co-culture with injured cells promoted NAD BMMCs differentiation.
Isolated MVs from co-culture with injured hepatocytes carried liver-specific mRNAs.
The uptake of MVs from NAD cells was confirmed in Albumin and PKH26-positive cells.
