Abstract excerpt
Aberrant platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα) signaling is evident in a subset of hepatocellular cancers (HCCs). However, its role and regulation in hepatic physiology remains elusive. In the current study, we examined PDGFRα signaling in liver development and regeneration. We identified notable PDGFRα activation in hepatic morphogenesis that, when interrupted by PDGFRα-blocking antibody, led to...
