## Cyclooxygenase -2 (COX-2) is upregulated in many cancers, and the prostanoids synthesized increase proliferation, improve angiogenesis, and inhibit apoptosis in several tissues. To explore the function of COX-2 in liver, transgenic (Tg) mice were generated containing a fusion gene (LIVhCOX-2) c
Fas-mediated apoptosis is one of the major death processes of hepatocytes in liver diseases. Although compensatory regeneration occurs during liver injury, it has not been determined whether regenerating hepatocytes die by the same apoptotic process as quiescent hepatocytes. To clarify this issue, t
