Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Atypical dysplasia of oval cells plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To prevent oval cells from carcinogenesis or induce them to differenciate into hepatocytes will become an effective way for chemical treatment of HCC. This study was to construct a rat hepatic oval cell proliferation model, and observe the inducement effect of matrine on phenotype...
