Manipulating and tracking single hepatocyte behavior during mouse liver regeneration by performing hydrodynamic tail vein injection

Summary: Studies to identify genes relevant to mammalian hepatocyte biology in vivo are largely carried out using germline genetic-engineering approaches, which can be costly and time-consuming. We describe hydrodynamic tail vein injection as an alternative approach to introduce genetic elements int...
