Cells responsible for liver mass regeneration in rats with 2-acetylaminofluorene/partial hepatectomy injury

Abstract Background Whether hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs)/oval cells regenerate liver mass upon chronic liver injury is controversial in mice and has not been conclusively proven in humans and rats. In this study, we examined which cell type—hepatocytes or oval cells—mediates liver regeneration in...
