The liver is the only solid organ that uses regenerative mechanisms to ensure that the liver-
to-bodyweight ratio is always at 100% of what is required for body homeostasis. Other solid …

In contrast to all other organs, liver‐to‐body‐weight ratio needs to be maintained always at
100% of what is required for body homeostasis. Adjustment of liver size to 100% of what is …

Signals related to liver regeneration (LR) have been identified by triggering proliferation in
hepatocyte cultures, delay of regeneration associated with signal ablation in genomically …

Liver regeneration is perhaps the most studied example of compensatory growth aimed to
replace loss of tissue in an organ. Hepatocytes, the main functional cells of the liver, manage …

During liver regeneration quiescent hepatocytes undergo one or two rounds of replication
and then return to a nonproliferative state. Growth factors regulate this process by providing …

To render hepatectomy feasible in patients with an initially deficient volume of the future
remnant liver (FRL), we redistributed portal blood flow rich in hepatotrophic substances …

Drs. Busuttil and Klintmalm present Transplantation of the Liver, 3rd Edition, which has been
thoroughly revised to offer you the latest protocols, surgical approaches, and techniques …

Liver regeneration is a complex phenomenon aimed at maintaining a constant liver mass in
the event of injury resulting in loss of hepatic parenchyma. Partial hepatectomy is followed …

A full-length cDNA clone encoding a purified augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) factor
prepared from the cytosol of weanling rat livers was isolated. The 1.2-kb cDNA included a …

Although growth factor effects have been studied in cultured hepatocytes, little information
exists as to whether these factors can trigger hepatocyte replication in vivo. In this study we …
