Epithelia and mesenchyme are two distict types of tissues found in virtually every organ: epithelia are composed of closely associated, largely immobile cells, whereas mesenchyme, in contrast, contains more mobile, fibroblast-like cells that form losely associated cell agglomerations. During normal

## Abstract Like a set of bookends, cellular, molecular, and genetic changes of the beginnings of life mirror those of one of the most common cause of death—metastatic cancer. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important change in cell phenotype which allows the escape of epithelial c
The outcome of liver injury is dictated by the effectiveness of repair. Successful repair (i.e., regeneration) results in replacement of dead epithelial cells with healthy epithelial cells, and reconstructs normal hepatic structure and function. Liver regeneration is known to involve replication of
