Hepatocyte buds derived from progenitor cells repopulate regions of parenchymal extinction in human cirrhosis
16 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Repair of cirrhotic livers occurs, in part, by repopulation with hepatocytes through the stem/progenitor pathway. There remain many uncertainties regarding this pathway. Hepatocyte "buds" occurring in broad septa are hypothesized to be the anatomic manifestation of this pathway. Our purpose was to define a morphologic sequence of bud maturation to allow a quantitative measure of the importance of the...
