Recently, we described a new model for hepatocyte transplantation with nearly total replacement of the liver by exogenous hepatocytes (E. Laconi et al., Am. J. Pathol., 153: 319-329, 1998). The model is based on the mitoinhibitory effect of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid retrorsine on hepatocytes in the resident liver while transplanted hepatocytes proliferate. In this study, we exploit this novel approach to address...
