Recently, the existence of the large latent transforming growth factor β€ (TGF-β€) complex, consisting of TGF-β€, the N-terminal part of its precursor (latency-associated peptide [LAP]), and the latent TGF-β€ binding protein (LTBP), was demonstrated in rat liver parenchymal cells (PC) and stellate cells
## Abstract Recent studies have identified epithelial cell populations in human livers that are similar to the βoval cellsβ and βtransitional cellsβ seen in rat livers during the early stages of chemical carβcinogenesis. It has been suggested that these cells might be precursors of hepatocytes and
