biostudies-literatureUnknownMcGinn MNCI NIH HHSWhile significant progress has been made in understanding different aspects of liver regeneration, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the initiation and termination of cell proliferation in the liver after massive loss or injury of liver tissue remain unknown. The loss of liver mass affects tissue-specific mitogenic inhibitors in the blood, which in turn regulate the proliferation of remaining hepatocytes and liver regeneration. Although well described in a number of publications, which inhibitory substances or "sensor molecules" control the regeneration mechanisms to properly maintain liver size remain unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized, membrane-limited structures secreted by cells into the extracellular space.
