Researchers from the University of Illinois have identified a key process coordinating liver maturation and polyploidization, ...

A more recent approach is transplantation of mature liver cells, known as hepatocytes. “The problem is obtaining sufficient quantities of fully functioning hepatocytes,” says Ochiya.

Ultrasound of the liver shows a fluid-filled mass with ... to biopsy the viable portion of tumor and avoid the adjacent normal hepatocytes or necrotic portions of the lesion.

[16] Focal nodular hyperplasia occur mainly in normal liver and should be distinguished ... immature mesenchymal cells, and hepatocytes and is usually diagnosed during childhood.

We analysed TWEAK and Fn14 protein expression in liver biopsies by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. An immortalized primary human hepatocyte cell line (HHL) was used to evaluate the ...

In the HBP, these agents highlight the lack of functioning hepatocytes in malignant or pre-malignant nodules, which appear hypointense against the background of normal liver parenchyma.
