Recently, it was shown that hepatocyte DNA synthesis after partial hepatectomy (PH) is impaired in interleukin-6-deficient (IL-6(-/-)) mice, which results in significantly delayed, but eventual, recovery of normal liver weight, compared with the IL-6(+/+) controls. Four possible compensatory mechani
Distinct mechanisms are believed to regulate growth of the liver during fetal development and after injury in adults, because the former relies on progenitors and the latter generally involves replication of mature hepatocytes. However, chronic liver injury in adults increases production of Hedgehog
Tumor necrosis factor a (TNFa) has been implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases, and anti-TNFa has been shown to improve therapy when added to standard of care in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In addition, patients with chronic HCV have increased serum levels of TNFa and the ma
