Liver Regeneration

NCT03396705 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

Last updated 2022-04-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The liver is the only visceral organ with a tremendous capacity to regenerate. We don't yet understand how normal liver regeneration occurs (on a molecular level) or how to distinguish between normal and "abnormal"/neoplastic regeneration. This study will characterize the role of the different liver cell types in the regeneration process and will examine gene expression changes in the various liver cell types.
