Hepatocyte growth factor/ <i>c-met</i> signaling pathway is required for efficient liver regeneration and repair
30 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor c-met signaling pathway is of central importance during development as well as in tumorigenesis. Because homozygous null mice for either hgf/sf or c-met die in utero, we used Cre/loxP-mediated gene targeting to investigate the function of c-met specifically in the adult liver. Loss of c-met appeared not to be detrimental to hepatocyte function under physiological...
