Abstract excerpt
In contrast to the deregulated hepatocellular division that is a feature of many hepatic diseases and malignancies, physiologic liver growth during embryonic development and after partial hepatectomy (PH) in adults is characterized by tightly controlled cell proliferation. We used forward genetic screening in zebrafish to test the hypothesis that a similar genetic program governs physiologic liver growth during...
