Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent hepatocyte mitogen in vitro, appears to trigger hepatocyte regeneration after partial hepatectomy and after acute liver cell netcrosis. Transforming growth factor-a and transforming growth factor+, may also be involved in the control of liver regeneration. In this
Transforming growth factor-a (TGFa), a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor ligand family, has been implicated in the regeneration and transformation of liver. Our recent development of mice that are homozygous for a disrupted TGFagene allowed us to assess the requirement for this growth f
Hepatocyte growth factor and transforming growth factor-a are two well-known hepatomitogens for primary hepatocyte cultures. Here we report that these two growth factors also stimulate in uiuo DNA syntheses in normal, unoperated, adult rat liver after 24-hr continuous intraportal infusion. As determ
