Liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis in transforming growth factor-α-targeted mice
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha), a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor ligand family, has been implicated in the regeneration and transformation of liver. Our recent development of mice that are homozygous for a disrupted TGF alpha gene allowed us to assess the requirement for this growth factor in these complex processes. We report here that although a 70% hepatectomy produced a...
