Senescence‐related genes possibly responsible for poor liver regeneration after hepatectomy in elderly patients
11 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Liver regeneration likely decreases with age by an, as yet, incompletely understood mechanism, restricting the extent of hepatectomy. We therefore analyzed the effect of aging on liver regeneration and investigated mechanisms associate with poor regeneration of human liver. METHODS: We assessed 130 patients who underwent hepatectomy at our institute between 2005 and 2012. The patients were...
