Experiments in transgenic mice show that hepatocytes are the source for postnatal liver growth and do not stream
1 Jul 1995
Abstract excerpt
One hypothesis is that postnatal liver growth involves replication of mature hepatocytes, which have an unlimited proliferative potential. An alternative viewpoint is that only certain periportal cells can replicate extensively and that daughter cells stream slowly from the periportal to the pericentral region of the liver. Transgenic mice expressing the beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) gene from the human alpha 1...
