Liver cell growth can be induced in two distinct patterns: compensatory regeneration and direct hyperplasia. In the former, DNA synthesis is preceded by a loss of liver cells such as seen after partial resection of the liver or cell necrosis, whereas in direct hyperplasia, DNA synthesis is stimulated without cell loss. During the past decade, considerable advances have been made in understanding molecular...
