Silymarin (SIL), a standardized plant extract containing about 60% of the polyphenol silibinin, is used as a hepatoprotective agent. In order to explore the effect of SIL on liver cell regeneration in a model of progressive biliary liver fibrosis this substance was applied to adult Wistar rats that

Cathepsins B and D, beta-galactosidase, and acid phosphatase activities were found to be decreased in the regenerating rat liver, the reduction being maximal around the peak of hepatocyte mitoses (30 h). To investigate whether these changes could be heterogeneously distributed among hepatic cells, t
## Abstract Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHx) is a complex process that is regulated by hemodynamic changes, the modulation of cytokines and growth factors, and the activation of immediate early transcription factors that lead to a round of hepatocyte mitosis. Among the factors inv
The nuclear lamina is a fibrous structure at the nucleoplasmic surface of the inner nuclear membrane. Its assembly state is regulated by phosphorylation of its protein components, the lamins A, B, and C. The isoprenylation of the lamins is essential for their proper membrane anchoring and functional
