Deep intralobular extension of human hepatic 'progenitor cells' correlates with parenchymal inflammation in chronic viral hepatitis: can 'progenitor cells' migrate?

Abstract excerpt

Ductular reaction and putative progenitor cells (or 'progenitor cells'), which are presumed to be the human counterpart of the oval cells in rat liver, have been discerned in various human liver diseases, including chronic viral hepatitis. Since in experimental models of chronic hepatitis the activation of oval cells is correlated with the inflammatory infiltrate, this study investigated whether there is a...
