| Research Abstract |
Liver is a unique organ with an extraordinary capacity to regenerate. This study showed importance of cellular hypertrophy of hepatocytes and proposes a revised model of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. Liver progenitor cells develop around the portal veins in some types of liver injuries, we found that FGF7 is essential for the induction of liver progenitors, and that they are important for the recovery from the liver injuries.
