Liver cell transplantation leads to repopulation and functional correction in a mouse model of Wilson's disease
8 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The toxic milk (tx) mouse is a non-fatal animal model for the metabolic liver disorder, Wilson's disease. The tx mouse has a mutated gene for a copper-transporting protein, causing early copper accumulation in the liver and late accumulation in other tissues.
