Reversing Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Using Networked Biological Therapies
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The liver is distinguished from other tissues by (a) its detoxifying function, (b) its resistance to apoptosis, and (c) its regenerative response to damage. Hepatocellular carcinoma arises when chronic insults, such as hepatitis or iron overload, constitutively activate this regenerative program.
