| Research Abstract |
In this study, we got the following two conclusions. One is that by using knockout mice of CXCR4, the receptor of SDF-1, we elucidated that SDF-1 that is produced by hepatic stem/progenitor cells is important during liver regeneration. The other is that we firstly detected hepatocellular carcinamo(HCC) with hepatic stem/progenitor cell marker NCAM and revealed that prognosis of these NCAM-positive HCC was very poor.
