Retinoic acid generates a beneficial microenvironment for liver progenitor cell activation in acute liver failure
2024-01-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective</h4> When massive necrosis occurs in acute liver failure (ALF), rapid expansion of hepatic stem cells called liver progenitor cells (LPC) in a process called ductular reaction (DR) is required for survival. The exact underlying mechanisms of this process are not known to date. In ALF, high levels of retinoic acid (RA), a molecule known for its pleiotropic roles in embryonic development, are secreted...
