Biologists have long been intrigued by the possibility that cells can change their identity, a
phenomenon known as cellular plasticity. The discovery that terminally differentiated cells …

The mammalian liver is one of the most regenerative tissues in the body, capable of fully
recovering mass and function after a variety of injuries. This factor alone makes the liver …

In this editorial, the roles of orosomucoid (ORM) in the diagnoses and follow-up
assessments of both nonneoplastic diseases and liver tumors are discussed with respect to …

Wound‐induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) describes a regenerative phenomenon in
adult mammalian skin wherein fully functional hair follicles regenerate de novo in the center …

Tissues are maintained by adult stem cells that self-renew and also differentiate into
functioning tissue cells. Homeostasis is achieved by a set of complex mechanisms that …

Aims In regenerating liver, hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) are recruited in response to
injury; however, few highly specific human HPC markers exist for the hepatocyte lineage …

The liver is characterized by unique regenerative properties to restore its mass and function
after a partial loss. Hepatic regeneration arises after resection or following acute and chronic …

Homeostatic maintenance of tissues is orchestrated by well tuned networks of cellular
signaling. Such networks regulate, in a stochastic manner, fates of all cells within the …

The liver is provided with peculiar regenerative features, initiated by resection or
acute/chronic injuries. Preservation of cell phenotype (“phenotypic fidelity”) characterizes …
